I know it's unlikely, but I'd like to see Florida, Texas, and Alaska go blue, specifically to deprive Republicans of those stupid electoral maps they use to claim the country is mostly red. You know, the ones that don't account for population density.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They'd just show voting districts zoomed out instead. That's always going to look red, but dirt don't vote...
Ironically, if you do that with Alaska, you'd think it's already blue. Here's alaska in 2016
I'm one Alaskan that will be voting Harris, but this state seems very likely to go Trump. Things are changing at the local level but we still have a lot of dumb fucks out in the middle of nowhere who wants to go back to the dark ages
Unlikely. Trump is up significantly in AK:

But even if Harris did manage to pull off a win, it's only 3 electoral college votes, and it's one of the last time zones to close for counting.
Keep in mind that there have only been 3 polls in Alaska since Biden dropped out and one of those was a republican sponsored one
Yes it's more likely than not that Trump wins alaska, but data is limited. It's still a low but not a zero percent chance he doesn't. Regardless of this cycle, it keeps moving closer each election and certainly could be a competitive state in the future for president

Looks like OP did a weird double paste and replaced a part of the link.
Oops should be fixed now
