Trump was imploring his supporters to vote in person. Plus his supporters took a more cavalier approach to covid. That led to most Trump voters, voting in person.
On the flip side, Biden was imploring his supporters to vote by mail. Plus, his supporters were generally more cautious about covid. That led to most Biden voters, voting by mail.
On top of that, factor in Demoractic strongholds produce a majority of votes for the Democratic candidate. Given all that, it's not absurd that Biden got 90+% of mail-in votes in some of those areas.
In Michigan, in 2020, there were 5.5 million votes cast. Party breakdown in Michigan is 34% Repub, 47% dem.
That’s roughly:
Dem 2.6 million
Repub 1.8 millon
3.3 million people voted absentee in 2020. So to say that 90% of the absentee vote went for Biden, would mean that almost 100% of democrats would have had to have voted by mail.
Even if all 100% of the dems did vote by mail, there still would have had to have been more Trump votes in there.
Does that sound legitimate? I wouldn’t think so.
