re: #48 Dangerman

Result from Tuscarawas County, OH

Trump carried it 69-29% in 2020
Dem carried it 56-44 today.

+27 Democratic swing

Good news, of course, but what did the Dem carry? A county office? Statehouse seat?

I hate to be the downer here, but even huge R to D swings in pure votes are fairly meaningless unless they result - or at least have a credible chance of resulting- in the office at stake actually changing Party hands. Especially at the State/local level, where years of GOP gerrymandering (and its corollary, ideological purism purging) have served to tighten the grip of the Republicans on “red” areas probably beyond retrieval.
