Many Democrats continue to believe that the racism of average Americans — many of whom voted for Barack Obama twice — explains why Donald Trump won. This moralism suits party elites who would rather demonize the public than address growing inequality.

      It really really isn’t.

      One county in a deep red part of New York had 0 votes for Kamala. That same county had 0 votes for Biden last election. In a state that Kamala won.

      This has very, “how come there were 30 points swings in the polls in under an hour” energy that MAGA had when mail-in ballots got processed in Pennsylvania and Arizona in 2020.

      But this doesn’t even pass the smell test. Even if it was fraud, why? They just decided to do it in a suspicious way in a state they were never gonna win in the first place? What’s the end game? Why make it zero votes at all? Why do it in New York?
