Hopium? This blog is suggesting an incredible margin of victory for Harris.

VDH is the website. They are outright calling respected meta-polls FiveThirtyEight and RCP completely wrong. Their overall argument is that the Senate-race is incredibly favored in the Democrat’s favor.

I don’t know if I necessarily believe that argument. But its still interesting to think about. Discuss?

    Well, it makes sense, on one hand, but not in another.

    Where it makes sense:

    • the population centers are pro-Dem.
    • DeSantis is wildly unpopular with everybody.
    • FL businesses benefit from immigrant agriculture workers only second to CA.
    • Abortion is on the ballot

    Where it doesn’t make sense:

    • Gerrymandered County distribution basically makes electing Harris basically impossible right now
    • People have been moving away from the coastal cities
    • An influx of MAGA people moving to FL

    It’s less likely to happen. Not impossible. AZ is way more likely.

      Gerrymandering has nothing to do with the presidential election.

        It does when your nearest polling station is across town. This is one of the many games they play in districting.

          Yeah, but that’s “easy” to do without gerrymandering as well.
