He was democratically elected through voter suppression. The more people that vote, the worse the GOP performs.
Overall voter turnout was 63.7%. Voter turnout in states where Trump won was 63.4% Voter turnout in states where Harris won was 66.4%. States with the lowest turnout included Hawaii, Texas , West Virgina, Arkansas, and Oklahoma - almost all red states.
Texas is my favorite example of voter suppression. Texas should be a swing state. The GOP never held a majority in the Texas legislature until 2002. In 2003, they went all-in on redistricting, flipping Texas from a majority-Democrat Congressional delegation to 2/3 Republican between 2002 and 2004, with the dems never recovering. They also have laws written specifically to make it harder to vote in Houston, since it’s 20% black and reliably votes blue.
