People vote, not cows and cornfields
Dec. 11th, 2020 08:18 amOn my Facebook page, somebody pointed out that Trump won more counties than Biden. Here's my edited comment to that.
Here in the US, people vote, not cows or cornfields. Here in the US, people live in cities and suburbs. Making an argument about how many counties somebody won is stupid.
For example, Biden won DuPage County, getting 281,000 votes. That's 3 times more votes for *Biden* than total ballots cast in Champaign County (96,185). (BTW, Biden won Champaign County with 57,067 votes.)
There are a lot of really empty counties in the US. The least-populated county in Illinois, Hardin County, only has 4,300 people. The least-populated county in the US, Loving County in Texas, only has *86* residents.
(You can do your own Google for these numbers)
