The Ten Counties With Highest Homicide Rates All Pro-Biden Territory. People are getting blasted for Biden.
To highlight how awful NPR’s partisan “analysis” is, I took their tactics to homicide rates, which is of interest to the firearms community. Thanks to the great wonder (and sewer) that is the Internet, all the data is available to the public. You can find 2020 County Health Rankings National Data (copy) and County Presidential Election Returns 2000-2020 (copy) online. Looking at the two datasets, I found the Top 10 Counties by Homicide Rate and their 2020 Biden vote share. Here are the results (homicide rates are per 100,000 people):
1) Baltimore City (Maryland) – Homicide Rate: 39 – Biden Vote Share: 87.28% 2) St. Louis City (Missouri) – Homicide Rate: 39 – Biden Vote Share: 82.23% 3) Orleans (Louisiana) – Homicide Rate: 37 – Biden Vote Share: 83.15% 4) Petersburg City (Virginia) – Homicide Rate: 37 – Biden Vote Share: 87.66% 5) Dallas (Alabama) – Homicide Rate: 35 – Biden Vote Share: 68.46% 6) Macon (Alabama) – Homicide Rate: 33 – Biden Vote Share: 81.49% 7) Coahoma (Mississippi) – Homicide Rate: 33 – Biden Vote Share: 70.82% 8) Wilkinson (Mississippi) – Homicide Rate: 33 – Biden Vote Share: 66.61% 9) Phillips (Arkansas) – Homicide Rate: 32 – Biden Vote Share: 58.04% 10) Holmes (Mississippi) – Homicide Rate: 32 – Biden Vote Share: 81.18%
