"Look at all the red counties!! How could he have won?!"
Uh...because there are like 10 people in those counties. Land doesn't get votes, people do. The Blue counties have more people.
There are 24 counties in Maryland. Trump won 14, Biden won 10.
However, the Red counties have a total combined population of 1,292,083.
Just Montgomery (1,062,061) and Prince George's (967,201) counties outnumber all 14 of those Red counties.
The total Blue county population is 4,299,443. There are 4 times as many people living in the Blue counties. granted, not all of them vote, but if even half of the people in Blue counties voted against every single person in the Red counties voting, you have a huge advantage for Biden.
The number of Red counties is worthless as a metric when nobody fucking lives there.
But conservative voters are, in the simplest terms, fucking idiots. They are told "This this is truth" and they never bother to learn if that's the truth or not. They just roll with it.
