Is there a single historical precedent that Biden DIDN'T break on his way to the """win"""? Lost the 2 biggest bellwether states, lost all but 1 bellwether county, Trump increased his total in WI by 10 percent, which has meant a landslide in every other election where it happened, the list goes on.

Hijacking to say... What happened to Bush in this data set? I want to see how many counties he won in Wisconsin to compare as well!

Bush didn’t win the state of Wisconsin. It’s “presidents who won Wisconsin“ en route to the presidency.

FWIW though: Bush Won 42 counties twice while losing to Gore and Kerry. While Bush Sr won 35 counties while losing to Dukakis.

Edit: Including the Bushes would actually prove more persuasive as each lost the state yet still blew away Biden.

Adding the losers along w how many counties they won would strengthen the argument I think
