Over a quarter of a million Metro Detroit voters cast their ballot for Trump this election

[Kaleva]

That's more votes for Trump out of Wayne County then he got out of all 15 counties in Upper Michigan and much of Northern Michigan.

If one looks at the votes Trump got in the urban counties of Genesse (Flint), Kent (Grand Rapids), Washtenaw (Ann Arbor), and Ingham (Lansing), it's clear that Trump got a great majority of his support in the state from urbanites.

White Kentucky transplants.

5. See my other post.

Not all of what is referred to as Metro Detroit is a minority area.

4. When you use the term "Metro Detroit"...

I take that to mean the tri-county area, not the Detroit area. It's misleading to people who don't live here. Macomb County is considered in the Metro Detroit area and it's a quite different populace than Detroit proper.

7. All of the counties referenced

have suburbs with different demographics from the urban areas proper. Rolling the votes together doesn’t provide an accurate explanation.

8. Detroit proper is about 90% black

while the suburbs are about 75% white.

10. I'm glad Eminem pitched in

I loved the GOTV video using "Lose Yourself"....I just wish it had come out earlier. I also think we were more cautious with in person GOTV cuz we respect science.

11. Detroit city population is about 670,000. Metro Detroit was 4,296,250 in 2010

Detroit City's population peaked at 1,849,568 in 1950 and has declined in every decade since. A friend was a census taker in 2010 and filled out a lot of forms for "no longer a dwelling unit at this address".
