>It’s possible that many Republicans did cross the aisle, just like many Democrats (such as myself) did so as well.
It's possible. But the numbers don't bear this out.
In every state that was close where Biden won, his margin of victory was less than the number of votes that Jo Jorgensen (the Libertarian candidate) received.
That tells me that enough R-types were disgusted enough with Trump that they voted Libertarian for President and R for everyone else.
Check out the numbers for yourself[0]. Just click on each state and it will break down the vote totals for each candidate. And in every. single. case. the margin of victory for Biden is less than the number of votes received by Jo Jorgensen.
Jo under performed Gary Johnson from 2016, so I do not believe your correlation is very valid
In Some States, Like Nevada, the number of people that choose "NONE OF THESE CANDIDATES" for president more or less matches the number of people that voted for Jo...
Further an over all Analysis shows there were almost as many Split Biden votes, as there were Split Trump Votes
This idea that "3rd party spoils the election" or changes the election has been dis-proven often, as absent the 3rd choice most people that vote 3rd party simply do not vote at all, or choose no one in that particular race (which is an option most people for get, you do not have to pick a person in every race on a ballot, blank is a valid choice)
