If only ______ ballots were counted

Big ol’ asterisk on the 2020 election, though:

Covid
Wide action to change voting to get around Covid
Wide belief among Republicans that Covid wasn’t real
Ergo, wide movement against changing elections around Covid

For these reasons alone, using any election map like this from 2020 is outside any norm. What about the 2016 or 2012 map? It may look similar, but won’t be nearly as drastic.

Good point! I’ll see if the author has the same map for any previous elections.

Edit: So it seems like the maps were made as a part of a series by u/DustinGibson a while back. As far as I know, he has not posted any other elections.
For the record, covid was a real disease, but completely overblown. The measures were mostly not helpful, and targeted small businesses.
- My father died due to somebody else believing the same, ignoring the guidelines, and spreading Covid to him.
  
  So kindly shut the fuck up, yeah?
- At least 7 million people died as a very conservative estimate. Some estimates go as high as 30 million deaths. It’s the 4th most deadly epidemic/pandemic in the last millennia after the Black Death, Spanish flu, and HIV/AIDS. And that’s with all the lockdowns, social distancing measures and a truly groundbreaking rollout of vaccinations. There’s nothing overblown about that.

As someone who voted blue, part of my motivation to not do it on election day was to avoid being harassed by Trump's poll ~~watchers~~ intimidators.

I can't say whether the conclusion you've drawn from the maps is right or wrong. But I can say that the analysis is probably incomplete. Because does that pattern hold out in other elections too?

Yeah, I understand that, and I’ve made the conscious decision to remove the commentary as I’ve realized my error. I am interested in how this pattern may hold up in prior elections. I’ll have to do some more looking.

I propose a new title to this post:

What would happen if every barrier to voting was removed vs what would happen if Republicans were allowed to implement all of the voter suppression tactics they can imagine.

Are you saying that if only in person ballots were counted, Trump wins every state?

Yes. State recorders typically divide votes by demographics in raw data, so this data consists of the ratio of red:blue votes for both of those categories of voting.
- I highly doubt Trump wins every single state. What’s the source for your info?

How are states with mail in voting counted? We don’t vote at a polling station (and it’s glorious) on Election Day. We typically vote well before hand. They just get counted on Election Day.

God if we get Trump/Biden or either one of them again as a candidate I’m going to throw a fucking fit.
