They're not trying to. Each side's politicians are very much trying to get a supermajority voting for them. And in local areas, the skew this produces toward one side or the other is quite clear.

It's only on a national level that the parity becomes visible.



True.

I'd like to have fine-grained data on the "purple" states. For 2024 there's, eg (not even collated policy data, but it's something)

Thing is, all the states are purple.

I've never seen numbers for 2024, but I have for previous recent national elections, and the most either party has in any state is roughly 70%. So at the statewide level, that's the total skew you're looking at.

In local elections, things can be more one-sided; I imagine there are a fair number of rural counties that would have only a handful of blue voters (but out of a total of, y'know, a few thousand voters in the whole county).


Ah right noob mistake. Oops!

I wonder if the kurfuersten realize this? Or are there some states where most of the electors from either side see theirs as swinger.

(Trump sees some states as purple for sure--? as maybe all the blue hopefuls did in 2024)
