Extremely Detailed Map Reveals Who Your Community Voted For In 2020 Presidential Race
An interactive, incredibly detailed map of how neighborhoods voted in the 2020 presidential election has been released. Created by The New York Times, the online map of the U.S. shows which candidate people voted for at the state, county, and precinct levels.
