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

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

        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.

              Maybe slightly worse than the Electoral College.

          It’s almost like every state isn’t a monolithic political entity
