One of the 2020 election’s biggest surprises turned out to be Hawaii, which saw the biggest pro-Trump swing since 2016, despite its long history of voting for Democrats.

“Hawaii is on track for both the nation’s: 1) largest raw vote increase vs. 2016 (33.8% so far) 2) biggest pro-Trump swing vs. 2016 (-32.2 pts to -29.5 pts) If anything, the move to universal mail ballots might have *helped* Trump by drawing out relatively disengaged voters,” noted NBC contributor Dave Wasserman on Twitter.
