As the Trump campaign challenges the vote count in battleground states, an analysis by the Wall Street Journal is offering the president an indicator that he isn’t off track in believing he actually won the 2020 election.
Of the 19 bellwether counties that have consistently voted for the presidential winner since 1980, all but one chose Trump, the Journal found, PJ Media reported.
Washington state’s Clallam County was the outlier, backing Joe Biden in a state he won by more than 19 points. The Democrat carried the far northwest, rural county by only about 3 points, however.
Vigo County in Indiana has chosen the winner correctly since 1956, the Journal pointed out. It has missed only two since 1888: 1952 and 1908.
