    Nope. That’s the voting results from Springfield, Ohio’s district. That’s the district with 20,000 Hatian immigrants in it that they said were welcomed and beloved members of the community that revitalized business in the city…and then voted 2:1 to have them kicked out.

      I think they mean the voters you mention may well be different people to the people talking to the news or whatever about how they’re welcomed, beloved, etc.

      One loud voice isn’t representation of the entire district, etc.

        This is very true, but you’d think that in a district that voted nearly 70% to deport them, you’d also get at least one loud voice speaking against them. Either on the news, social media, Youtube, wherever. This is why I believe that at least some of them went on TV or talked to the pollsters preaching about how much they love the Haitians because it was the politically correct thing to say, then went right to the voting box and voted Trump.
