Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball: “Just about 150 of the nation’s more than 3,100 counties cast half of the nation’s presidential vote in 2020.”
“Joe Biden won 126 of the 151 top half counties, while Donald Trump won 2,548 of the remaining 2,960 counties in the bottom half.”
“Trump’s wins among the top half counties were concentrated among the smaller pieces of that group — Biden won all but one of the nearly 50 counties that cast 500,000 votes or more.”
