Mr. Biden won it by <u>50 percentage points</u> over Mr. Trump. But these red arrows on the map show precincts that have shifted right since 2016 — there are 2,158 of them, compared with the 1,508 that have shifted left.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Areas where 30% or more are born abroad: In particular, Chicago precincts with a lot of immigrants saw more people turning out than in 2016, and many shifted to Mr. Trump.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Areas that are more than 50% Latino </p> <p>Almost all of the precincts with a majority Latino population showed an increase in enthusiasm for the president …… including ones with tens of thousands of residents of Mexican descent. Mr. Trump received 45 percent more votes in these areas than four years ago. Mr. Biden still won, but the number of people who voted Democratic did not increase over 2016.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Areas where 30% or more are born abroad</p> <p>It was not just Latino areas. In a belt of suburbs north of Chicago — precincts that are home to South Asian, Arab and Eastern European immigrants — there was also higher turnout, and a shift to Mr. Trump.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Areas that are more than 50% of Asian descent</p> <p>In Chinatown, Mr. Trump’s vote increased by 34 percent over 2016, while Mr. Biden received 6 percent fewer votes than Hillary Clinton. Mr. Biden still won in precincts with a majority of residents of Asian descent, but the Democratic margin of victory fell 12 percentage points.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p>Areas that are more than 50% Black:</p> <p>Meanwhile, areas with more modest red shifts tended to be predominantly Black, with few immigrants. Mr. Biden received fewer votes than Mrs. Clinton in these areas while Mr. Trump’s vote increased slightly.</p> </blockquote> <p> </p> </div></div></div> Thu, 24 Dec 2020 16:03:03 +0000 artappraiser comment 296365 at http://dagblog.com
