🚨 VA: Deep Dive 🗳️
Sorry, for the delay this is going to be likely the most comprehensive single 'breakdown' of this state anywhere on Twitter. Charts, charts, and more charts. If that's not your thing just read the tweets and you'll get it.
Target: 🎯 Virginia
(data downloaded just now)
Trump: 1,962,631
Biden: 2,413,144
Third: 84,750
Total: 4,460,525
Trump is losing by 450,513.0 votes.
On our first chart we've got problems! The count starts @ 7pm est, and it looks fairly decent for Trump out the gate. We have a unicorn pro-Trump 'shovel' here. (Usually used to hide vote
Things finally calm down at the start of our chart (about a week after the election). There is some moving of small counts of votes around. There is an interesting pattern in
This is a lot of data, but basically this is a comparison to the increase in voter turn out in 2016 and 2020. We have a median line and a standard deviation below and above that line which should help us find the outliers.
For completeness, I've included two charts for those interested that just show the %

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"
The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.
1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!
2) "Repressed memory" syndrome
3) Facilitated Communication [FC]
All 3 led to massive abuse.
"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.
Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.
FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
For three years I have wanted to write an article on moral panics. I have collected anecdotes and similarities between today\u2019s moral panic and those of the past - particularly the Satanic Panic of the 80s.
