** Voting trends in the country's richest and poorest counties
------------------------------------------------------------
Ballotpedia reviewed voting patterns from 2016-2022 of the 50 richest and 50 poorest counties in the United States to look at how partisanship and voter participation relate to county income. Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates Program’s 2021 estimates ([link removed] of household income, we found:
* In the last three presidential elections, a majority of both the richest and poorest counties voted for Democratic candidates.
* Richer counties averaged 10% higher voter turnout than poorer counties in that same time period.
* The majority of the richest counties were in Democratic trifecta states, while the majority of the poorest counties were in Republican trifectas.
