(And so did the adjacent precinct, about three miles up the road.)

This really proves that the liberals’ demonization of Trump voters made us unwilling to voice our opinion. In my walks around my neighborhood, I counted 18 Biden signs and not a single Trump sign. Same thing in a nearby neighborhood, where I sometimes walk for variety - plenty of Biden signs yet nary a Trump sign in sight. Yet, when all the ballots were counted, in-person and mail, more voters went for Trump.

What this tells me is that even here in Northern Virginia, in a very liberal suburb. people preferred Trump to Biden. Not sure how to extrapolate that out to the election numbers in general, but it’s surprising.

All you have proven is that your precinct is an anomaly.

Rachel, have you had a chance to look at the election returns nationwide?

By and large, voters voted as predicted. Trump lost popular vote.

No. I’m not paying attention to the returns. Politics isn’t of interest to me.

I live a county that voted for Trump. I checked my precinct. 63% of the residents voted for Trump. My neighborhood is about 95% White. The precincts with much larger Black populations supported Biden in large numbers. Majority of precincts went for Trump, but I could find a few Biden precincts too. Those precincts are anomalous relative to the county.

Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood that you started this thread. About politics. And about how you're paying attention to the returns.

Not only that, Trump lost Virginia.

Rachel, I'm sorry, you've lost me completely here.

Anyway, sounds like your neighborhood voted Red when you thought they were going Blue.

I'm out.
