Detroit's blue-collar Downriver suburbs swung toward the Dems in 2020 (D+2). While Trump was able to plumb some votes out of Ecorse, River Rouge, Romulus and Rockwood, it was not enough to offset the gains in the larger suburbs. @michigeese_@JMilesColeman@SenhorRaposa
Biden even managed to flip Allen Park, Wyandotte and Brownstone Township. He nearly flipped Riverview, too, with it going to Trump by only 0.3%, and Trump only carried Woodhaven by 2.5%. #ElectionTwitter
Cynthia is BRITISH, y'all. She is playing the entire hell out of this part, not just the accent - which is flawless - but the mannerisms, too. How she's interacting with the actresses she's playing with...Give this woman an award for this part, already.
Lansing had a 4-point swing towards the Dems in 2020, and overall turnout was up nearly 14% from 2016. Biden won 74% of the vote in the city to Clinton's 69% in 2016. #ElectionTwitter@JMilesColeman
Ethnic minority areas didn't present as clear a pattern as in some other cities. The blackest precinct (southern end of Westside neighborhood) trended Biden, while more mixed (Hmong, Vietnamese and black) trended Trump. The most hispanic precinct trended Trump but by 1 point.
In Flint, Biden matched Clinton's level of support, but the third-party vote of 2016 seems to have largely drifted right, raising Trump's margin by about 3 points to get to...16% of the total vote.😁 Where Trumped 'gained' in some cities, it was mostly because of this.
I knew the stuff was gonna hit the fan when Rev. Franklin reached way down into his sould and pulled out "chur'ren." 😬 Went from Detroit-to-Memphis is 0-5.
Ms. Franklin stayed relevent through every decade, because she wasn't afraid to take chances with her style. Gospel, soul, funk, pop, opera...she wanted it all and she did it all.
Though very slightly, Michigan's Upper Peninsula did trend toward the Dems last cycle, 56% Trump / 38% Clinton in 2016 to 57% Trump / 40% Biden. Most of the gain is on the back of it's most populous county: Marquette.
BTW, turnout was up 14%, here, which is impressive when you consider that the region is bleeding pop. on net. If the state had interest in economically jolting Marquette awake, things up there wouldn't be quite so bad, politically, from a Dem perspective.
A group including Richard Whitmer - the current governor's father - sought to allow for expanded stem cell research on donated embryos, and got a constitutional amend. on the ballot in 2008. It passed 53% - 47%. Support was strongest in Washtenaw and weakest in Missaukee.
Like Grand Rapids and Lansing, Kalamazoo was another growing city in which Biden got over 70% of the vote. %'s ranged from 69% in precinct 10 in northeast K'zoo to 95% next door in the far north of The Zoo.
Election Twitter, how can I make a custom color ramp in QGIS in which 0 is white and 100% is the darkest hue of the color? I'm trying to create an empty scale of like 5% increments, but have the color ramp up evenly but deeper into the color ramp.
Battle Creek - Cereal City - has been one of Trump's better cities as the Kellogg company town has economically stagnanted over the past two decades. Biden got 82% in Precinct 4, Trump 56% in Precinct 23 which are adjacent to one another.
