I was combing through the NY Times interactive electoral map and noticed some rather bizarre swings in a couple of towns in Georgia that I would have thought were an error at first given that the surrounding county swung towards Biden. Birdie, Georgia which Hillary won by seven points in 2016 went for Trump by SEVENTY points in 2020. The neighboring town of Caruso went from 76-22 Clinton in 2016 to 68-31 Trump in 2020. Does anybody know anything about the area to know why their would be such a radically counter-cyclical trend?

How big is the county? Counties with a small population are prone to large swings.

It's fairly small and swung slightly to Biden overall which leads me to think that this was a typo on the part of the Times.
