    would be nice if Biden uses his lame duck status to revert it. FL isn’t much of a purple state anymore anyway

      It wouldn’t really mean that much since Trump would reverse that decision immediately.

      Basically just giving Trump a free win with the Latino block in Florida for no discernable benefit.

      Trump got 56.1% vs Harris’s 43% in 2024.

      That means nearly every other person isn’t Republican.

      That’s pretty purple.

        By that logic, every state is a purple state and the classification isn’t useful anymore.

        Instead, the criteria that actually matters is the degree of uncertainty about which side of the 50% mark it’ll fall on in any given election. Florida is no longer all that uncertain.

          Considering every state to be a purple state would probably be good for Americans as a whole.

            So would ending the first-past-the-post voting system, which is what amplifies marginal changes in public sentiment to extreme changes in government policy in the first place.
