2 Questions.

1.) I'm currently leading- Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost and I LOVE it. Bender does a great job being neutral and I love timeline books. What would you recommended me to read after? I want another timeline book that goes through a lot of the backroom decisions, inside scoops kinda. Preferably as least bias as possible.

2.) Who were the demographics that Trump lost the most support from in May/June of 2020? It appears that is when he fell apart and could never recover.

Weirdest results for some slices of the population?

How much of the leftward swing seems to be simply anti-Trump?

Why does Arizona take so long to count votes?

1. None of the books really get into electoral trivia. One mentioned Arkansas moving towards the right when the rest of the country moved left was unusual and probably ancestoral Clinton voters

2. Biden locked down the "stay home" voters from 2016. And ate most of the Liberterrean and Green Party support from 2016. Combined with 18-22 aging into the electorate, Biden's victory can be entirely drawn from anti-Trump voters who did not vote for Hillary in 2016. Almost no one "switched sides" or were a Trump-Biden voter. Biden's victory in Arizona came from demographics and people moving from California. Georgia came from Atlanta exploding in recent years and Stacy Abram's turnout machine.

Biden was able to get Romney voters that did not vote for eithe side in 2016.

So yes, anti-Trump

3. Thats just how Arizona is. A very large state with far flung rural counties and Native reservations. No one expected for Arizona to be the deciding state. 2018 senate race wasn't called for days

How can you tell Biden's victory in AZ came via California movers instead of native AZ independents  /moderate republicans who detested Trump? Like how can someone tell that X amount of people who moved from this state vote a certain way? I know a lot of right leaning Cali people moved to AZ during covid, so kinda surprised to hear that point.
