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

    

Washington DC metro area (northern Virginia)

Stafford County.  From a 39.6 percentage point GOP advantage in 1980 to a 3.2 percentage point Democratic advantage in 2020.  

3rd party votes:  18.6% in 1992, 8% in 1996, 6.3% in 2016
(Alabama segregationist George Wallace received 34.1% of the vote in 1968)

Trump received 3,768 more votes than he did in 2016, a 11% increase.   Biden received 12,337 more votes than Clinton did in 2016, an increase of 44%.

Trump's share of the vote decreased by 4.1 percentage points. Biden increased Clinton's share of the vote by 8.2 percentage points

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

Demographically speaking.

% of population 25 and older with bachelor's degree:
  • 39.9% - Stafford County
  • 38.8% - Virginia
  • 32.1% - U.S.
% of population 65 and older:
  • 10.7% - Stafford County

% of population living in poverty:
  •   5.4% - Stafford County
  •   9.9% - Virginia
  • 10.5% - U.S. (they're joking, of course)

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