In reply to the discussion: Kamala Harris Received Zero Votes in a New York County [View all]Pacifist Patriot
(25,000 posts)Voter turnout was 71%.
I think the weirdness may be that Harris' 65,880 votes represents 70% of registered Democrats and Trump's 83,543 votes represents 160% of registered Republicans. When you combine all the other registered voters (whatever CON, WOR, OTH, and BLANK are), his vote totals would be 71% of all registered voters who are NOT Democrats. And folks who don't align with either party don't vote as a block.
It is incredibly unlikely that he would win that county with 55.4% of the vote and Kamala with only 43.7%. Registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by 93,934 to 52,077.
Whites and Hispanics account for over 80% of the population in the county, but even I have a hard time believing that racism and misogyny swung that many registered Democrats from Harris to Trump.
