The NYT link has some very interesting breakdowns. I did not find this particular graphic there however. Going directly to AP pooling also has lots of data. Also interesting, which groups are not included. Shows Whites but not Blacks or Latino, Has Protestant and Catholic but not Jewish or Muslim. I wonder if this information is in the data set somewhere.

@GerOttman Large numbers. Protestants and Catholics will have large numbers in almost every state.
Race/ethnicity are a bloody pain in the ass for data too.

@GerOttman @SquirrelGirl I found this, which the NYT based their info on

With the vote count at over $150 million, this is really not a reliable cross section IMHO. 🤷♀️

@SW-User Well, it's better than the 669 phone calls. I think maybe that was referring only to Alaska. That's what was at the end of the link.

@GerOttman You've stated exactly what I feel about this. It's not something I consider an accurate accounting from any angle. When I tried to check my state stat at the bottom of the page of the link, it only gave me the election results, not the info found on the Alaska link. In trying to uncover more info, I didn't find anything but, I'll admit I didn't spend a lot of time on it.
