Trump flipped five overwhelmingly Hispanic border counties despite bipartisan claims his rhetoric would alienate them

WA EX:

President Trump flipped five Hispanic majority Texas counties during the 2020 election, including a 94% Hispanic county that hadn’t voted for a Republican since 1920.

Trump’s gains in Hispanic counties were not limited to the five he flipped. Twelve other majority-Hispanic counties that Hillary Clinton overwhelmingly won in 2016 saw Trump make double-digit gains in 2020. Clinton won Starr County, which has a 96.4% Hispanic population, by 60.2 points in 2016. Trump lost Starr county by only 5 points in 2020, a whopping 55.2 point swing. Maverick County, a 95.1% Hispanic county Clinton won by 55.8 points in 2016, went to presumed President-elect Joe Biden by just 9.4 points — a 46.4 point swing toward Trump.

“One of the biggest surprises of the 2020 election was Zapata County, TX,” Sabato’s Crystal Ball Editor J. Miles Coleman said on Twitter. “Trump became the first R pres. nominee since 1920 to carry this 94% Hispanic county. He got 2,032 votes there, double his 1,029 in 2016. Not a huge county, but Zapata was emblematic of his gains in the RGV.” read more

  1. How easy is it to change the results of the vote?
    Here’s a little program I wrote in RPGLE in two minutes to reduce Trump and increase Biden by 25%.

    Count=1;
    Read ballot;
    Dow not %eof(ballot);
    If vote = ‘Trump’;
    Count = count + 1;
    If count = 4;
    Vote = ‘Biden’;
    update (ballot);
    Count = 1;
    Endif;
    Endif;
    Read ballot;
    Enddo;
    *inlr = *on;

  2. We were told IF Trump reaped big gains in minority support, which HE DID, it would be lights out at the democrat house. Yet we’re being told Biden won and the lights are brighter than before. It doesn’t make sense he won without cheating. And cheated bigly to borrow Scott Adams’s word.
