In a given population, you’re always going to have outliers. No population is THAT hermetically sealed.

Disproportionally low votes for Harris, combined with normal spreads for other reps and elections? Funky, maybe worth looking at, but not a smoking gun.
ZERO votes for Harris, combined with normal spreads for other reps and elections? That right there is a fucking HUGE smoking gun. That simply doesn’t happen in electoral statistics. It’s effectively impossible.

For a district with 552 votes, you'd expect at least one vote for Harris through pure accident. It's quite fishy.
