Anyone know what results were here and did Biden win city or did it go for Trump.  It is in Deep south where voting very racially polarized so racial make up would hint Trump.  But in Deep south rural areas almost match racial breakdown right down to percentages whereas it seems in urban and suburban areas at least a sizeable minority of whites vote Democrat combined with African-Americans going heavily for them thus not quite as racially polarized.  By contrast in rural areas in Deep South, it seems like unlike past, there are now more Blacks voting GOP than whites voting Democrat even though probably only around 10% of Blacks go GOP there.

So curious what results were.

Trump only won Madison County by eight points, the narrowest margin since Reagan in 1980. Huntsville is about 60% of the population of Madison County, it's plausible that the city could've gone for Biden assuming that the surrounding areas are as deep-red as I assume that they are, although Huntsville also spills into neighboring Limestone County. The NASA presence (since the days of Operation Paperclip when they had Wernher von Braun there) also makes Madison County much more educated than its surroundings, although in the Deep South educated whites are still much redder than they are elsewhere. If the NYT map had Alabama filled in, I'd eyeball the rough shape of the city in the county to hazard a guess, but it seems a fairly even proposition as to whether or not Biden won it.

Pretty sure even Clinton won Huntsville.

It seems almost a certainty that Biden won the city.

Anyone able to calculate it since if you can match polling places to municipality you can calculate it using secretary of state's website?
