What? How did Georgia turn red then?

Oh it's a formula they made up weighing Presidency, House and Senate. Statistics never lie, but liars use statistics.

Yep. As soon as I saw the word “weighted” I knew this was cooked six ways from Sunday to make their side look good.

The national media (which is still mostly on their side) has in recent weeks posted news stories about the raw decline in Democrat vote registrations, and their party is still in the doghouse on voter approval.

If they do okay in the midterms, it will be down to individual election contests in districts and not because the national party is doing well.

Its swing relative to national swing. The nation as a whole swung to the right. But if your state didnt swing as much as the nation as a whole then relatively it swung left

"Sir, the enemy is advancing!"

"Walk backwards at a slightly faster pace!"

"It worked, they're retreating!"

Nearly every single county in every single state trended to the right in 2024; to the point that even the media talking heads were forced to confront it.

This is weapons-grade copium.

The New York/California ones are accurate as Trump did gain around 3m voters between the two As for the rest of this map its a bit skewed because the populations are much smaller its not that many actual people voting democrat over Republican.
