THREAD:
It is increasingly clear that Trump’s large and unexpected surge in the S. Texas/Rio Grande Valley is historically unique.

While much attention is paid to baseless claims of a rigged election, the most interesting story of the 2020 election occurred in S. Texas.
For this study I looked at the presidential voting data from the 206 media markets in the US from 1980-2020.

I used media markets because the data is publicly available and goes back to 1980. There are other advantages, as well.
Such as, media markets tend to create a sense of shared community or identity across larger regional areas than counties.

Here is a link to the data: dailykos.com/stories/2018/2…

THREAD: We know there was a very large & unexpected shift to Trump in Miami-Dade & the Rio Grande Valley counties in t 2020 presidential election.

Previously, I tried to get a sense for how rare it is to see a shift of this magnitude in those counties.

Another way to appreciate what happened in Miami-Dade and RGV is to compare their 2020 results with every county in the United States (Alaska excluded) across multiple elections.

To that end, I examined county level data for every presidential election since 2000
I looked at two measures:

1. % increase in raw votes for a party's presidential candidate from one election to next

(So, if a Rep. presidential candidate received 10 votes in Year A, & 4 years later the Rep. candidate receives 20 votes, we'd say that is a 100% increase)

THREAD: I’m still very interested in Trump’s remarkable success in Miami-Dade and Rio Grande Valley/Texas border. The explanations given in the press...
for his gains include the appeal of Trump’s hyper-masculine persona among Latino males, fear of Biden’s position on oil and gas, fear of Biden’s “socialism”, Democrats "forgetting" how to “talk” to Latinos, Democrats taking the Hispanic vote for granted, etc.
If reasons given are accurate, wouldn’t we expect a grand defection from the Biden ticket similar to that of the Reagan Democrats in Macomb County, Michigan in 1984? There, Mondale dropped to 97K votes from Carter’s 120K in 1980. Meanwhile Reagan increased from 154K to 194K.
