McCain got less raw votes in 2016 than in 2004 despite 12 years of population growth.

There's always the tried and true: There were more Trump voters in Los Angeles County than in all of Oklahoma. Or the state with the most votes from Trump was California.

In that same vein Biden got more votes in TX and FL than he did in NY.

Infact FL gave Biden the next biggest raw vote total after CA.
I’m kinda surprised Florida beats Texas

Yeah, I'm very surprised. Took it as a given that TX had more raw votes for Biden than FL given that they voted only a few points apart and TX has a substantially larger population.

Another fun one: There is a current Congressional district that was over Trump + 40% in 2020 that has over 100k black population and 290k Hispanic. Kudos to whoever can figure out what it is.

Do you mean Trump+40, or that Trump won over 40% of the vote?

If the former then I'm guessing the people who said Houston metro are correct; if the latter (as I initially understood), then my mind jumped to South Florida.
