As a North Carolinian I have to say it feels really bad knowing your state is actually blue, but it's gerrymandered so hard that it's red and that it will likely stay that way. I will do my best to make it blue again.
I'm terrified of Mark Robinson winning the governor race.
Gerrymandering has nothing to do with the presidential election.
No - they have other methods of voter supression for that
...Which do directly relate to being gerrymandered.
Oh no I mean shitty practices like shutting down polling stations, throwing people off voter rolls, etc.
I'm agreeing with you
What a wonderful "democracy". The candidate with +7 is still a maybe to win.
I really like those numbers! Last time I looked at a polling map, it was Trump needing to win just one battleground state. Now it looks like Harris is in that seat.
As a great example of your point, my vote for Harris-Walz will be one of an overwhelming majority in my state. But that majority we contribute doesn’t really count past that 50%. MY state is predictable, just like the popular vote seems to be trending g bluer again, but what happens in Pennsylvania has so much more impact.
It looks like they don’t even care enough to poll in my state. At 538.com, the last listed survey still puts Biden in the lead by 18-21 points. I wonder if that will change with Harris, LoL
High quality post.☝️
Norh Carolina is the state I'll be watching most closely.
We can infer some things from the national poll though - of course this is all fuzzy statistics but they're always saying something like a +5 for dems in the national polling is roughly equal to an electoral victory.
Huh. I didn't know that Harris was doing so well in Michigan. Maybe she doesn't need the Arab vote after all!
