(This info is for Placer County, CA)

Hello everyone, I have some data I'd like to share with you here. My local county is deep Republican in a state that is deep blue. We despise our governor's onerous lockdown restrictions, and our local county board of supervisors voted unanimously to end the local state of emergency and refuses to enforce the state's restrictions.

In 2016, we voted for the POTUS by a 10 point margin, 52.5%-41.2%, there was a sizeable libertarian presence at 4.9%. The margin of victory was approximately 16,000 votes, which for a county of about 390,000 is not insignificant.

In 2020, you look at the county results, and what do you see? With 76% of the vote in, the results are 51.2-46.9% BIDEN. That's right, in a deep red county that despises the governor and lockdowns, gained 10 points over the President. Despite the fact we had several Trump rallies, countless flags, stickers, and voter registrations, Joe Biden who hates guns and wants lockdowns, somehow did what Obama and Hillary Clinton could not: Flip one of the reddest counties in the state.

Here are the vote counts for you to investigate: 2016: 78,000-62,000 Trump/Clinton 2020: 81,500-75,000 Biden/Trump (76% counted)

I did the math, and if Trump receives about 57-60% of the remaining ballots, he can still overcome the Biden lead. But it is incredibly suspect that a county that was strongly Republican (we have no cities where Democrats have a registration advantage) could flip so much.

Silicon Valley pede here!

I’ve been watching the CA data.

They are fast counting Democrat ballots and slow counting reoublicans.

The RoV knows which party every ballot returned.

This is why Biden ‘leads’ in the pop vote.

Trump got 5.5 Million votes in 16 from CA

Right now has abiut 3.5 Million in CA.

He should end up with six or more, but they want to maintain a lead for biden

Thats my county, Its very fishy Biden won here. Most of it is rural country farm land that absolutely wouldnt agree with Biden's policies at all but somehow he won. Fishy.

I was wondering when I saw Placer County so blue. Have noticed some people saying that it was because of the Bay Area transplants but that's speculative. Still real damn fishy.

I considered two things: Bay Area transplants and COVID response. The former isn't large enough to swing the election this hard in one cycle (midterms we voted for Cox by a substantial margin), and the latter just doesn't make sense because we don't really take COVID as seriously. Our local county health officer even quit due to how we wanted to prioritize opening the economy and getting kids back to school. So there's no proper explanation, other than waiting and seeing if the remaining 50,000 votes break hard for the GOP.

I thought that looked fishy. I was looking at the separate Counties and Placer looked odd to me also. We are moving to Eldorado County and getting out of Sac County to get away from all the rioting and homelessness in Sacramento plus to many ANTIFA and BLM people are in our have started to move into our neighborhood. Even with all the Bay Area people moving to Placer County those numbers don’t make sense. And if there was that massive shift how did Kevin Kiley keep his seat? He has been going after the Governor hard in the courts and is a staunch Conservative. I’m convinced there has been mass voter fraud all over the Nation for the Biden campaign. It’s going to come to light. Justice is going to be served. They messed with the wrong President and we are not the traditional Republicans who sat back and allowed fraud to keep the Dems happy. We are a new breed of Conservatives/ Libertarians/Independents etc who will demand our voices be heard.
