Loudoun County, Virginia: Why the GOP believes that voter suppression is the only path to survival

  

Washington DC metro area (northern Virginia)

Loudoun County.  From a 36.5 percentage point GOP advantage in 1984 to a 25 percentage point Democratic advantage in 2020.  

3rd party votes:  18.8% in 1992, 7.4% in 1996, 6.7% in 2016
(Alabama segregationist George Wallace received 21.3% of the vote in 1968)

Trump received 12,139 more votes than he did in 2016, a 17% increase.   Biden received 37,577 more votes than Clinton did in 2016, an increase of 37%.

Trump's share of the vote decreased by 1.7 percentage points.  Biden increased Clinton's share of the vote by 6 percentage points

The GOP suburban problem, graphed.  (Same source as line graph above.)

Demographically speaking.


% of population 25 and older with bachelor's degree:
  • 61.3% - Loudoun County
  • 38.8% - Virginia
  • 32.1% - U.S.
% of population 65 and older:

  •   9.9% - Virginia
  • 10.5% - U.S. (they're joking, of course)

The GOP dumbing down of America is not working in Loudoun County.
