What explains this county?
It's in the suburbs of Augusta, but it has just 27 people a square mile. It is majority-minority. It voted for Obama in 2008 by a 9.2% margin, and in 2012 by 11.3%. In 2016 it voted for Clinton by just 2.6%, and in 2020 it was one of just fifteen counties to flip red, going for Trump by 1.8%.
I mean, it has countervailing trends. It is 'suburban,' but it has only 27 people per square mile. And it's majority-minority. So I really don't get why it flipped, or why it has such a low population density.
