Biden smashes Obama’s record for lowest number of counties won by successful presidential candidate (buried but relevant news)

Joe Biden is on track to smash another of Barack Obama’s records.

If Mr Biden takes office, he will have set a new low for the percentage of counties won by a successful US presidential candidate – just 15 per cent.

The former Democratic Vice President appears to have secured an electoral college victory with just 477 out of the country’s 3143 counties and county-equivalents.

Hillary Clinton, in her failed 2016 run, won 472 counties.

Former President Obama ushered in the previous low in 2012, winning re-election with just 689 counties, or 22 per cent – breaking his own record set in 2008, where he won with 875 counties, or 28 per cent.

As Nanzi Polizei and The Fake News Mediums try to make you feel isolated, just remember you are surrounded by like-minded people.

Couple this with other data that shows President Dr. Trump received a larger percentage of black and hispanic votes than your typical Republican Presidential candidates, and you'll start to grasp why Nanzi and the mediums are pushing the white supremacy narrative.

Thus, Mrs rktman’s idea of “one county, one vote for president”. If nothing else, it might force the democommies to pay some attention to FOC*. Then again, how many folks want them involved in FOC*? (They’re gonna be involved like it or not.)

*Fly Over Country

Are you suggesting something nefarious about the Joseph Stolen election?

I now believe counties, more than states REPRESENT the true state of the republic and its union.

If I were to rewrite the electoral college rules, I would award one electoral college vote to each county.

A “nation” is more, so much more, than merely its most populace locations.

You only have to look at a map to see and admit that.

I have pretty good data on this. It means that in the counties won by Biden, then for every 100 votes that Obama got, Biden got 186. It’s just not believable.

“Criminal governments steal elections.”

And criminal governments also take away the people’s ability to rise up and overthrow such elections.

The bastards cheated. “Our side” allowed it.
Our government is no longer We, the People.

I'd love to see that data.

That's the first thought that came to my mind. Biden must've gotten more than 100% in some of these counties. If not most.

No, it’s not believable.

I’m adding this to a letter to my school’s headmaster, who wrote a long greeting to the school’s alumni that Xiden’s handlers didn’t cheat.

Amen. That is why the Founders wanted one Representative per 30,000 citizens.

I think they would've been horrified at the idea of limiting the number of Representatives at 435.

Or that we would only have 50 states after 250 years.

Not intending to criticize you, but Biden is much too stupid to have stolen the election. That crime was planned and executed from the get-go by the racketeer cabal called the Deep State, an organization that includes many members of the GOP.

Thanks for the post. That is one of the most convincing statistic that the Democrats cheated in this election. Hillary won 472 counties in 2016 and Biden won 477 counties in 2020. One would logically think that Biden would win a little more than Hillary’s 227 electoral college votes but not 306 electoral college votes.

This is just more proof that President Trump’s election was stolen.
Democrats would like us to believe that it was Biden that won the election for Obama and himself.

Do you have data for 2020 on the total voting age population (and Registered Voters) of the counties that officially voted for Biden, versus the analogous population (and registered Voters) of counties that voted for Trump?

Former President Obama ushered in the previous low in 2012, winning re-election with just 689 counties, or 22 per cent – breaking his own record set in 2008, where he won with 875 counties, or 28 per cent.
Obama cheated, too.

For the 2012 election, definitely. I don't believe Romney "threw" it; I think he was genuinely surprised at the results.
