On that last point, the reduction in toss up counties is largely due to the increased sophistication of (anti-democratic) gerrymandering. Migration is an issue, but a separate issue.
- LyndsySimon 8y agoI'm not aware of any county boundaries being changed, so I don't see how gerrymandering has anything to do with it.
- germinalphrase 8y agoIf available seats (regardless of county) are made less competitive through gerrymandering then whatever counties those seats represent are likewise made less competitive. Voting districts are not drawn by county lines.
- LyndsySimon 8y agoAgain, we're talking about Presidential elections here. Gerrymandering is irrelevant.
- germinalphrase 8y agoMy mistake. I thought we were discussing voting more generally.
