>>11653726 WSJ’s Post-Election Analysis of Bellwether Counties Shows a Clear Presidential Winner and It’s Not Close
I’m posting a portion of the article so you don’t look for the main point
A post-election analysis of bellwether counties – that is, the 19 counties around the country that have consistently picked the winner of presidential races with extremely rare exceptions over the past century – once again clearly picked one candidate over another this year.
And it wasn’t Joe Biden
The analysis comes as President Donald Trump’s campaign continues to challenge election results in some states while demanding recounts in others, including one in Georgia which is currently taking place.
The president and his legal team claim to have found substantial evidence of voting manipulation and outright fraud, much of it via the Dominion Voting System electronic ballot machines used in many states.
As such, they are demanding legitimate audits of all ballots in key states the president was winning by a lot before vote tabulations in a number of them inexplicably stopped in the hours after polls closed Nov. 3.
The Wall Street Journal found only on county anomaly among the bellwether districts:
America has become so polarized that presidential bellwether counties—those that consistently back the national winner, switching between parties in the process—are nearing extinction.
From 1980 through 2016, 19 of the nation’s more than 3,000 counties voted for the eventual president in every election. Only one of them, Washington state’s Clallam County, backed President-elect Joe Biden last week.
Other counties that had been bellwethers all the way back to the 1950s ended their runs by backing President Trump instead of the Democrat.
