Unless you’re geographically challenged you know that Michigan has an upper peninsula which is just across Lake Superior from Minnesota so in that regard they aren’t far apart. They are different in some ways and similar in others. Minnesota is about 1.2 times smaller than Michigan. Reference They are in different time zones. Minnesota has a population of 5.64 million and Michigan has a population of almost 10 million.
In the election Joe Biden beat Donald Trump decisively with 52.6 % of the votes to 45.4 %. The Michigan election was closer at Biden 50.6% to Trump 47/8%.
The black population in Minnesota is 336,505 – at 6.1% of the total population of the state. The black population of Michigan is 14.1% and Detroit has one of the largest African American populations in the country — 79 percent of the city's residents are black.
The reason this is particularly relevant because of this:
That obliterated Giuliani’s claims Thursday of discrepancies in district populations and suspiciously large voter turnouts. The figures mangled overvote percentages by comparing the number of expected district votes in one state to the populations of completely unrelated districts in another state.
“In Michigan and Wisconsin, we have overvotes in numerous precincts of 150%, 200% and 300%,” Giuliani gloated in one of his imagined “gotcha” moments. The man in charge of Trump’s assault on election results also argued that there were more votes than voters in some districts — again, because he confused the states.
You can be deranged, you can be an ignorant idiot, and you can be a Trump toady. Being one doesn’t preclude being any of the others. Rudy scores a Trumpian trifecta.
