Abstract

Research Question: Was the US election campaign a campaign based on race or stature? Findings: This paper examined voting patterns in US presidential election campaigns in 2016 and 2020, and compared racial voting patterns to voting patterns based on stature. The hypothesis that racial voting would act against President Trump was refuted. Meaning: The findings found in this research can be the start of a large voting shift in the United States, similar to the one started by President Roosevelt in 1932.
