I suppose I was trying to be PC with the term minorities!! Georgia is overwhelmingly African American when it comes to minorities, those military votes will likely come from the counties around Atlanta so will be heavily skewed towards African American.

This election will force the Dems in particular to not lump all Hispanics into the same group. The Spanish speaking population in Florida is very different from the one in California and this election has shown the effect that can have in counties like Miami-Dade, which still stayed blue but with a much reduced margin. Minorities still vote Democrat in huge numbers, where they have been successful this year appears to be actually getting them to vote (or in some cases like Georgia, enabling them to vote). Black males between 18-24 are still one of the lowest turnout groups in the population, it will be interesting to see the breakdowns in this election, especially with voter turnout significantly up on both sides.

The Dems are also going to have to look at the fact that 70m Americans still turned out and voted for Trump, if they can only just win an election with a pandemic, a shot economy and the most polarising and divisive President in history all in play then they have to consider that they need to do a much better job of getting their message across. Of course the incumbent always has a bigger voice and gets more airtime, especially one that is happy to lie continually and spout crap constantly, but the Dems need to figure out how to refute a man like Trump in a way that appeals to voters.
