NYT map of local election results: Weird stuff in cities [View all]

Looking at two swing states, PA and MI, the results map showed Felon-47 gained vs. 2020 in the urban areas of Pittsburgh and Detroit. Huh??

Oh, he didn't WIN those areas, but the incremental shifts may have had something to do with him winning PA and MI. For example, some precincts in Pittsburgh where Biden beat Felon-47 by a 90-10 margin in 2020 suddenly became margins of 82-18 in 2024. This pattern repeats all over urban Pittsburgh and urban Detroit. A comparison map shows Felon-47 URBAN gains in 2024. It's worth a look by all.

Sounds like a convenient way to steal an election, eh. Add numbers here and there in precincts Felon-47 lost big and suddenly a swing state changes from D to R.
