How many of the 40 million votes were in locked-in blue states?
Edit: this was an honest question, not some kind of gotcha
There's more than just president up for election.
Not that many. Guess why they’re locked-in blue states.
Do you have a source? California is locked in blue, but also just has a huge population.
I would wonder this too. Also is there even a point of voting in a blue locked state beside the chance that there's a huge surge in Republican voters? Like is there a difference between an area winning with 72% of the vote compared to 75% of the vote? Genuinely asking as I am a moron.
Illinois has Mary Miller and she's not that far away from Champaign county which is where UIUC is located.
