Here are the answers to the pop quiz on Macomb Co.
Biden goes up 48k in Macomb, 9k more than Trump... Trump with historic, massive gains in this key county and wins the county by fewer than he did in 2016.
This is a county that has grown 3.9% in the last decade. Trade problems have destroyed the area. Biden's trendline combined with the population numbers should have his vote total in the 135-155k range, given the coalition shift of many economic Democrats to Trump column.
That means Biden has 70-90k more votes than I would have expected in this county, with the state decided by 154k.
Other ugly red counties are Livingston, Ottawa, Kent, and Grand Traverse... before we even get into a discussion about how awful Oakland, Washtenaw, and Wayne were.
