🗳The 2020 election might come down to just one state: Wisconsin.

Here are five crazy facts to prove it bloom.bg/2Jfw6Fj

3 million voters in Wisconsin cast ballots in the 2016 presidential vote. Trump defeated Clinton in the state by 22,748.

That’s a margin of 0.75% bloom.bg/2Jfw6Fj

Of Wisconsin’s 72 counties, 23 switched from voting for Obama in 2012 to Trump in 2016 bloom.bg/2Jfw6Fj

Same-day registration was KEY to Trump's win. It was way up in three Wisconsin counties he flipped from Democrat to Republican:

🆙 Vernon County: up 22%
🆙 Crawford: up 40%
🆙 Grant: up 54% bloom.bg/2Jfw6Fj

Wisconsin’s same-day registration voters followed a pattern:

🗳In their 20s, 30s, and 40s
🚜Farmers
🚹Mostly men
🔴Voted for Trump bloom.bg/2Jfw6Fj

Nationwide, more than 21 million nonvoters in 2016 were non-college-educated white men, Trump’s base.

In Wisconsin, which is 81% non-Hispanic white, 459,000 non-college-educated white men didn’t vote in 2016 bloom.bg/2Jfw6Fj

About 78,000 Americans living in the upper Midwest across three states, detonated a bomb in 2016 that’s still rattling the world.

In 2020, a similarly small number could determine the fate of democracy itself bloom.bg/2Jfw6Fj
