- dragonwriter 10y agoNothing in that article makes the case (there's a subhead which assumes it, but all the details talk about counties, not people.) With new voters coming of age, old voters dying, far less than 100% turnout so even of the people who could vote in both elections those who actually do might not be the same, counties can switch without people switching. So, yeah, I'm sure there are some Obama/Trump voters, but I haven't seen a coherent case that there are a lot, just generous application of the fallacy of division.
- ThomPete 10y agoUnless you have evidence that somehow those areas changed voters then I don't see what exactly you are questioning. 1/3 of Mexicans voted on Trump, Hillary only got 10% more female voters. Nothing indicates that the voters changed completely from one election to another.
