Really you don’t need to read more than one chart: If you vote for anyone other than Harris, you’re voting for Trump:

minus-squarebobburger@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·6 days agoWhat is 0.5 rounded up to the nearest whole number then?
minus-square14th_cylonlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·6 days agoWhat does it have to do with 48% presented as more than 50?

minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down4·6 days agoOne exception proves the rule. :) But Florida is gonna Florida. There’s no question who they’re voting for. It everyone else we need to worry about.
minus-square14th_cylonlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down2·6 days ago One exception proves the rule. :) No, it doesn’t. Also my point is not “how Florida voted” It is that the blue part of the right graph is clearly bigger than half, yet the text description says 48%. So the whole graph set is not really worth drawing any conclusion from, because you can’t trust the data.
