An increasing minority vote/poll in a "safe" state would pull resources away from swing states to keep the state "safe". Not many people would have imagined Georgia going blue in federal elections but here we are. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PostmodernPythia@beehaw.org 3 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (2 children) If things are bad enough that NY goes red, how I voted is the least of our problems.

Georgia’s dynamics have been moving centerward for years, and people who pay attention to that stuff knew that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Krakatoa@lemmy.film 5 points 3 years ago And how do you think Georgia started going blue?
