Taylor Swift’s home county, Berks PA, swung 1.7% against Trump — but he improved in its largest city, Reading. Why? The city is 2/3 Hispanic.
Biden won Reading 72%-27%, down from Clinton’s 78%-19%. More evidence Biden’s struggles with Hispanics weren’t just a Sun Belt thing.

Had some other stuff planned but guess I’m gonna have to do a precinct map of this, to show some of you guys what I mean. Given what we’ve seen in other northern states, this was a reasonable inference to make.
And no, I’m not “blaming” any group or another for the result.

So here we go -- there actually does look like there's some correlation. The only precinct in Reading where Biden outperformed Clinton (Wd 18, Precinct 2) is also the whitest precinct.
