That article has 5 authors and no comments section.
IN THE COMMENTS HERE: There is support for the idea that the extra votes counted for Biden did not represent human beings at all, but were the fake votes of what was a stolen election in 2020. That's a notion that will not go away easily. Perhaps the new Trump administration will investigate and either uncover the fraud or prove it didn't happen, but Trump couldn't come up with much proof before January 6, 2021, and it might be a disaster for him to devote this new presidential term to questioning the legitimacy of the presidential term that escaped him. Concentrate on doing great things for the American people and ensuring that future elections are scrupulously accurate.
AND: Speaking of conspiracy theories, on another post this morning, Lem, the commenter, wrote: "Conspiracy theory Althouse is the best Althouse 😌." So if you're disappointed that I won't lean into the stolen-election theory, you can go over there and see what I had to say about Biden carrying the "Hundred Years’ War on Palestine" book.

Translation: Major blue cities found it harder to inflate the Democratic vote per closer attention given to voting software, rules, and enforcement.
Democrats have lost ground amongst all living voters. It’s your policies and I say that knowing you won’t stop slicing and dicing the electorate by race
How often are the comment sections turned off? Is it an indicator of the lack of confidence in the propaganda they are selling?
Interesting, in some of Houston's oldest and richest neighborhoods (River Oaks and Heights), that have had little growth as they've existed for decades, there were more votes for both candidates, yet these are the areas which essentially unchanged politically. Wonder where they got all those extra votes?
Surely those non-whites will return to the fold when the Democrats double-down on DEI.
I don't know if the NYT "analysis" of voters is accurate or not, but given the paper's seemingly genetic anti-Trump/anti-Republican slant, why should any of your readers believe any political article (or anything else) written in this reprehensible fish wrap?
Not even the no-pay-back loans to black guys saved them…
The fact is that minorities in major cities are the most exposed to job and housing competition from the millions of migrants that Joe Biden invited in. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
For the rest of us, it's waiting longer for medical care, because, well, these millions of migrants don't seem to include doctors, nurses, surgeons, etc, but they come with medical needs same as any other group of millions of people.
I can't imagine any Republican other than Trump who could've attracted minority voters like he did. Don't know if they'll admit it, but the anti-Trump, pro-DeSantis Republicans here (especially one named after a fruit) were entirely wrong about their predictions.
This!
Once you postulate that the 10 MILLION votes that Biden got,
that Harris ( and Hillary (and Obama)) didn't get weren't real votes..
It ALL makes Much More Sense
I guess the Russian disinformation campaigns were remarkably successful.
Once the Democrats figure out that most of the recent illegal immigrants are actually conservative Catholics, who will eventually vote Republican, they will push to build a wall.
Conservative Catholics plus gangs, drug runners, sex traffickers, common criminals, and wannabe warlords. These are precisely who the global left struggles to control with propaganda, grand ideological visions, and state money gifts. Establishment conservatives (patriots and rule keepers) are simple to control if not threatened and given space to live how they want to live.
But, today's left are naive alt-conservatives founding Green and Woke and Revolutionary religions. They do not understand their own ideologies and are not liberal or democratic in any way.
I guess there were no inner city precincts reporting 110% voting for Obama. Oops. I mean Harris.
Even Starmer in the UK is admitting that unfettered migration was a bad idea.

This isn't hard. The best use of those maps might be to identify areas where the red shift didn't happen to identify areas where vote fraud is the strongest.
I remember hearing the term "Yellow Dog Democrat" first when I moved to Texas in 1970, to describe the kind of voter who would vote Democrat even if the party nominated a yellow dog. Even in liberal Austin circles, it denoted contempt for the low information voter (not surprising since it was an artifact of the Lost Cause resentment of Reconstruction). As the NYT analysis demonstrates, the college-educated whites who are now the Yellow Dog Democrats.
All sounds interesting and all, with several theories. The problem with trying to explain this is that there is no control group. Are there cities where there were no changes?
What say rich? What say bich?
bich has left the building…
So what you're telling me is POC can spot a DEI scam artist? Got it.
It's the economy stupid. At both macro and micro scales. The question becomes will the Republicans actually have the balls to give the billionaires, who have been skimming all of the cream off the top since the mid-70s, a serious haircut.
One argument against that is to say well they will just invest their money overseas. That can be easily combated by not allowing them to do business in the United States of America unless they expose themselves to American wealth taxation. The true power of this country is the productivity of the people. Not the brilliant mathematical skills of the money changers on Wall Street.
I would be wary of comparisons involving the no-rules 2020 election unless the overvotes were first pared down to the ordinary level of fraud.
I love how they stuck the jr. on the end of Biden. That's new.
Blue cities are gross now. Like Pelosi cares?
Republicans finally did what I have advocated for 4 years- get serious about getting their voters to vote early and/or by mail. By getting their voters to the polls early those names are no longer available for any shenanigans on or after Election Day.
Those maps are a small subset of a trend I was following and writing about in Althouse's election night thread- I was taking the counties of Kentucky, Indiana, and Virginia and comparing their finished counts to 2020's results and in just every single case Trump improved his %margin vs 2020 and in almost every case his gross numbers, too, while Harris ran behind Biden in both significantly. I basically knew for certain Trump was going to win when Arizona dropped their early vote numbers just after their polls closed for night and Trump was only behind by a little bit- just comparing them to 2020 I knew Trump was going to win Arizona by at least 4%.
Before reading any comments - thanks for the link; those maps are indeed very interesting.
Another thing we didn't see this election that we saw a lot of in 2020 was shutting down counts for a while and then doing counting while actively hiding the work behind closed doors or even putting up barriers to prevent observers of seeing what was being done- I am guessing the GOP didn't allow the Democrats to do that this time without running to court immediately.
And one other thing was significantly different in this election versus the one one in 2020- places like Philadelphia County, PA and Wayne County, Michigan were forced by someone to put up the actual numbers of ballots left to be counted with regular updates. In 2020, for example, Philadelphia County added 200K votes, almost all of which went to Biden, while at the time they had reported via the NYTimes election page that they had already counted greater than 95% of their ballots.
5 journalists with (probably) ivey league degrees unable to put 2 and 2 together.
When one compares 2020 with 2024, so much conspiratorial speculation has finally been substantiated. Repub's got the message, didn't let that aspect of history repeat itself.
I looked at the Atlanta maps for quite a bit of time. I suspect that areas where Kamala did better (Buckhead is the most glaring example), are areas where new residents came in greater numbers. People who were fine with lockdowns moved to Buckhead. People who thought people in Buckhead acted silly during Covid left.
