In the midst of increased voting plurality is this also true: “Trump appears to also have increased strength among rural Black voters across the ‘Black Belt.’” Will that then also reveal itself in the Georgia special US Senate election on 5 January.

How ironic that DHS has an entire department dedicated just to debunking election misinformation, who spends most of his time debunking Trump and Republicans since they're the source of most disinformation in America while they try to steal the election.https://t.co/Jw7s82esC0— Grant Stern (@grantstern) November 11, 2020

‘One Trump adviser said most of the legal actions did not amount to much, and he expected it to be over by Saturday or Sunday “unless something really changes and we find real evidence.”’ https://t.co/qeEaQoHWip
Not without more detail could this conclusion of “Trump inroads among Blacks” really be more generalized.

and then this stat from TX's Rio Grande Valley: “In nearby (and not very populous) Zapata County, Trump was the first Republican presidential victor in 100 years, and Biden actually ran behind Clinton's total 2016 vote. In no part of the [Valley] did he do better than Clinton”
We'd highlighted this, a place visited by Vice President Pence last month, as one of the counties where the president was trying to cut into Democratic strength with rural Black voters. He pulled it off, adding more than twice as many votes as Biden did, compared with Hillary Clinton. Trump repeated that across most of the “Black Belt,” here and in much of the South — even Georgia, where Biden holds a statewide lead unlikely to be reversed by a recount. Some of Trump's overperformance came from new White voters who'd skipped the 2016 election. But the pattern across rural Black counties is clear, even if exit polls don't yet have enough data to be used. Democratic Rep. G.K. Butterfield, who represents a majority-Black district in the region, led the initial vote count by eight points; in 2016, Clinton carried that district by 11 points.
Biden:20,579 (+916) Trump: 17,531 (+1,906) Third parties: 941 (-605)
I agree @GaSecofState has done a terrible job. What concerns me is that these Republican operatives are not specifying what specific fixes they want to make. If the plan is to switch to ES&S of the vanishing black votes (GA’s prior vendor), then NO. 1/ https://t.co/YY8NYxILoC
Laura Ingraham finally tells Lindsey Graham to stop hawking his campaign website on Fox News.
