Democrats win with 47, Republicans in second with 6, Independents 2 and Nonpartisans came in last.
I've not found this information anywhere.
We’ve really moved on from the Worldometer Coronavirus tabulation.
And if you scratch those 2 “Non Partisans”, guess what you’ll find under the skin.
(Meaning it’s really Dems, 49, not 47...)
~Easy
Good research!
The New York City budget is 73 billion dollars?
The per capita spending of New York is many times that of the other cities on this list.
I wonder what they spend so much on.
All the cities being looted and destroyed are run by commie leftists..I think Trump is just sitting back and watching the commies destroy their own..why bother sending in help when they dont want any, they are enjoying the looting so why stop them
You can add Salt Lake.
Aw man, North Dakota isn’t even on the list.
I live in Minot ND. We actually had a protest yesterday. It was 2x people in the park with a loudspeaker reading a statement for 30 minutes. The “crowd” was about 50-60 people standing around, having a coffee, some playing games on their phones. Polite applause, dispersed to the playground. Welcome to North Dakota.

Article says about 100 people, I drove by. It was at least half of that.
Why can’t I find White Supremacist butane riot
lighters at Amazon Prime?
Bloated union salaries and pensions.
47 + 6 = 47?
Thank you
I remember reading that a couple of hundred families & institutions\companies fund the bulk of NYC’s budget. (Actually the number may be way less. I remember being shocked at how small it was compared to the NYC population.) I some percentage of these taxpaying entities moved out NYC would go under.
So I bet they spend an incredible amount on city administrators/employees, & city relief. Probably much more on city employees then on welfare.
Let Red China nuke the ten largest cities on that list. They’d be doing America a favor.
(No I’m not serious)
That includes our minority brethren who are all getting new TVs, new sneakers and drunk on expensive whiskey and includes the governing party and all its people in the stricken cities. They believe the rioting to be Justified in this Evil Capitalist Society and cannot psychologically oppose what they have been subtly promoting for decades.
Omaha is closing the city down.
No charges in Scurlock death; Douglas County attorney responds
Panama City had eight people with signs standing around downtown for an hour. Half were prosperous white women.
The local media in SoCal is loving every minute of it..the majority of the local media live in Santa Clarita, no looting there so they feel safe..and the reason why celebrities feel so secure spewing their idiocy is because they all live in Malibu, no rioting or looting in Malibu, isnt so easy to access so less likely anyone would riot there
Democrats win with 47.
++++
Really excellent work. I’m jealous.
And it is not just 47 D cities. It is 47 D cities in a row. All larger than than the few R or I cities listed.
