Local voters may not think of a rural state House race as a target for out-of-state leftist billionaires, but financial reports reveal how Democrats move money in small races.Despite Dem Voter-Suppression Efforts, Helene-Stricken Western N.C. Cast Even More Trump Votes In 2024
Some in the region hit by Helene were still without basic necessities, but helped deliver the state's 16 electoral votes for Trump.Trump takes every battleground state in 2024 election
President-elect Donald Trump secured sweeping victories in every battleground state, including Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
The election results for Arizona and Nevada were the last ones to be confirmed, with some media outlets, like the New York Times and the Associated Press, still holding off their announcements as of Thursday afternoon.
'This is an extremely clear mandate from the people for significant change!'
However, according to Decision Desk HQ, Trump defeated Harris in Arizona by 5.5 points with 75% of the ballots tallied.
Decision Desk HQ reported that Trump also took Nevada by more than 3.5 points with 95% of the votes counted.
Trump's win in Arizona and Nevada added 17 more electoral votes to his total, pushing him well over the 270 threshold required to secure the presidency. Trump's final count is expected to be 312 electoral votes against Vice President Kamala Harris' 226.
Trump also ran away with the popular vote, securing at least 4.5 million more supporters than his rival.
In the 2016 presidential election, Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 3.5 points in Arizona. Despite Maricopa County's gradual shift toward the Democrats, Trump still managed to lead there by 2.9 points. In the previous presidential election, President Joe Biden defeated Trump in Arizona by less than half a point by picking up Maricopa County.
On Monday, Trump won the swing county by three points, with 77% of the ballots tallied. The Democratic stronghold counties, including Coconino, Apache, Pima, and Santa Cruz, went to Harris. Trump won the other 10 Arizona counties.
Both Biden and Clinton clinched Nevada by 2.4 points in the last two presidential races, thanks to their wins in Washoe and Clark Counties. However, on Monday, Trump flipped Washoe County, securing his victory in the state.
On Wednesday, Elon Musk wrote on X, "Arizona just declared for @realDonaldTrump, making it a clean sweep of all swing states! Massive red wave success!"
He noted that Republicans won the presidency, popular vote, Senate majority, House majority, state governor majority, and the state legislature majority.
"The few states that didn't go red are mostly ones without voter ID requirements. Must be a coincidence," Musk continued. "This is an extremely clear mandate from the people for significant change!"
It is still unclear whether the Republicans will hold the House and whether Senate candidate Kari Lake (R) will defeat her opponent, Ruben Gallego (D), in the Arizona race to replace retiring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I).
Arizona counties ran into several speed bumps throughout the voting process.
The Navajo Nation in Apache County requested that polling centers stay open an additional two hours due to issues with the ballot-on-demand printers. A judge granted its request.
There were also a number of hoax bomb threats made to several polling locations.
Center for American Liberty founder and CEO Harmeet Dhillon told Glenn Beck on Tuesday evening that she expected Maricopa County to take up to two weeks to count all its ballots.
"That's because they're allowed to do that under the law," she explained.

Elissa Slotkin narrowly wins Michigan US Senate seat
Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin defeated Republican challenger Mike Rogers Wednesday in the race to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
Slotkin secured her electoral victory by 48.6%, while Rogers pulled in 48.3%, according to Politico. Although Democrats have held onto the contested Michigan Senate seat, Republicans have managed to flip seats in Montana, West Virginia, and Ohio, securing the GOP's majority.
Democrats have dominated the Michigan Senate seats for decades, but Rogers was able to narrow Slotkin's nearly six-point polling advantage from August to just a 0.3 point margin on Election Day.
The Michigan Senate seat was one of four races rated "toss-ups" by Cook Political Report going into Election Day, alongside Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Down to the wire: Predicting key swing states and election WINNER
It’s Election Day 2024, and Americans across the country are beelining for the ballot boxes to ensure their voice is heard — and praying that their voice matches the masses.
Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” accurately predicted the unfavorable outcome of the 2020 election, and he’s here to calm the minds of those dropping a vote for former President Donald Trump in 2024.
“Gun to my head here, it’s time to make last-minute predictions,” Burguiere says. “We’re going to give Georgia and the 16 electoral votes over to Donald Trump.” While Trump only has a slight but consistent polling lead in Georgia, Burguiere explains that “the fundamentals of the state lean a little bit red.”
Stu also predicts that North Carolina, a state whose citizens are still reeling from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, will vote in favor of Trump.
“Donald Trump wins North Carolina with 16. Again, same situation roughly as Georgia, it’s a very close state, it could go either way,” he explains. “But I think Donald Trump again, with a small but persistent lead in the polls, holds onto North Carolina in a very close margin.”
He believes the clearest state going to Donald Trump is Arizona, with 11 electoral votes.
“It’s still a traditional red state,” Stu says, before setting his sights on Nevada.
“This is one of these states I went back and forth on multiple times,” he explains. “I wound up going with Kamala Harris winning Nevada with 6 electoral votes. OK, I know everyone loves that, they love when I pick Kamala Harris in these states.”
Stu believes that the traditionally blue state of Michigan will go to Kamala Harris, and Wisconsin will go to Donald Trump.
Pennsylvania, the biggest swing state, is the most concerning — but if Stu is right — he has good news.
“I’ve decided to put Donald Trump in control of those 19 electoral votes,” he says. “The final count, Kamala Harris, 247 electoral votes. Donald Trump, 291 electoral votes. All of that to say that the official prediction of the ‘Stu Does America’ program, with incredibly limited confidence, is Donald Trump.”
“Donald Trump becomes the second president in history to have a presidential term, take one off, and then get the gig back,” he adds.

The Best Thing For America Would Be A Donald Trump Blowout
The best outcome for justice, democracy, and Americans' everyday living would be not just a Trump win but an absolute landslide.Early voting in swing states plummets for 2 key Democrat groups, but pollster accuses Trump campaign of 'spinning' the data
The Donald Trump campaign published early-voting numbers that showed a massive decrease in both urban and female voters. Both categories tend to vote Democrat.
Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted a campaign memo that stated: "Democrats are facing a massive turnout deficit."
"In every single battleground state, we see President Trump and Republicans outperforming elections past in absentee ballots and early votes cast," the memo claimed.
"Democrats are facing a precipitous decline in urban turnout according to their own 'data experts' and we are tracking an uptick in rural turnout."
The Trump campaign published numbers from Tom Bonier from TargetSmart, which the party described as a "Democrat data expert."
The data was a comparison of early-voter turnout in 2024 compared to the 2020 presidential election.
For Arizona, urban early-voter turnout was down over 385,000 while female turnout was down about 170,000. At the same time, rural turnout was up more than 14,000.
Other stark contrasts were shown for Michigan, where 320,000 fewer urban citizens voted early. There were also 200,000 fewer women who voted, as well. Additionally, rural turnout was up 55,000 in Michigan.
Pennsylvania, where many think the election will be decided, saw a decrease in early urban voters by more than 380,000. Meanwhile, a whopping 450,000 fewer women voted early in the swing state.

'There is a whole lot of spinning going on.'
Bonier himself denied the characterization of the data, calling it "not shocking" that the Trump campaign was spinning the numbers in its favor.
"There is a whole lot of spinning going on in this Trump campaign memo that mischaracterizes our data, and I'm pretty sure I know why," he said on X.
However, on its face, the data seems to obviously favor Trump and the Republicans.
In 2020, two out of three urban voters reportedly voted for Joe Biden over Trump, a 33-point advantage according to Pew Research.
However, the number has narrowed since 2018, when it was a 48-point advantage for Democrats. It was 46 points for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
At the same time, Trump took the rural vote by 32 points in 2020, with 65% of the share. He has widened that gap since 2016 when he had just a 25-point advantage over Hillary Clinton among rural voters.
According to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers, women favored Biden with their 2020 vote at an average of 56%, while male voters favored Trump at around 52%.
The numbers were generally the same with the gender gap at around 10-11 points in both the 2016 and 2020 elections.
Despite the claim that the Trump campaign has misrepresented the numbers, it stands to reason that, in general, a decrease in turnout for urban and female voters in swing states would at the very least result in fewer overall votes for Democrats than it would Republicans based on historical voting.
