> since 2008, [buncombe county] has trended strongly toward the democratic party. it swung from a 0.6 point win for george w. bush to a 14-point win for barack obama in 2008, and has gone democratic by double-digit margins at every election since then. this includes 2016, when it voted for hillary clinton. when donald trump won the electoral college (and the election) after losing the popular vote, the county lost its bellwether status. in 2020, joe biden's performance in the county was the best by a democrat since lyndon johnson's 1964 landslide.  dumbfuck
