2 red states - Oklahoma and West Virginia

& 2 Blue States - Delaware and Massachusetts

Wouldn't surprise me if Alaska was all red and Hawaii all blue either.

Alaska is weird, but a lot of it (by land area) usually votes blue.

The more rural areas tend to vote Democrat while the more populated areas vote Republican.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

If National Voter ID ever happens, it will make things more red, which is why the left will never allow it.

I think it would push both parties more to the right. We've moved so far to the left over the past 30 years or so and I think that is why you're seeing this. I have a relative who was a D politician a few decades ago. This year his house looked like a Trump campaign advertisement. The Democratic Party will have to move back to their base to be competitive - and I think they will.

Massachusetts only has blue counties tho so wouldn't that make them a blue state?

... and Oklahoma.... the only red state.
Rhode Island is a sea of blue

So 48 out of 50...
Hawaii went 100% blue also.
Even Maui this round? Would have thought not. But with Hawaii as the NYC of the state it wouldn't impact if it did.
Kauai is the most red of the Hawaiian Counties. Maui went blue as did all the others.
That Maui vote should tell you something about the liberal mindset.

Those people were left to fend for themselves by the Biden Administration when the island burned. And yet they still turned up to vote for Harris.

That was why was interested in it. It was a test case. On the other hand, the fact that NJ almost flipped and NY wobbled, may show the inability to perceive the harm being done is not a constant.

I spent some time looking at the percentages - Texas is further from purple than most of the blue states. obviously not a sign that things flip anytime soon in any of them, but I'm glad texas is staying solid red, and those morons on reddit claiming texas could flip cruz was great to watch.

I appreciate soros and schumer wasting all their money in texas than spending more of it in the true battleground areas.
