Title: 2050 Post by: DownWithTheLeft on September 23, 2006, 09:17:55 AM Took some time and used 2000 numbers plus growth rates to figure out an approximate of electoral votes in 2050, here it is:
() Title: Re: 2050 Post by: DownWithTheLeft on September 23, 2006, 09:19:09 AM R90= -5+
R50= -3 or 4 R30= -1 or 2 GRY= +0 B30= +1 or 2 B50= +3 or 4 B90= +5 or more Title: Re: 2050 Post by: bgwah on September 23, 2006, 03:22:33 PM Interesting, but of course states will not grow at the same rates for 60 years (stating the obvious).
I've always thought that it was interesting that only Washington and Oregon (and sort of California) are the only fast-growing states that have been mostly Democratic during their growth.

Yes, but the 5 fastest growing all went for Bush in 04' (although NV should soon change) Title: Re: 2050 Post by: Josh/Devilman88 on September 26, 2006, 10:03:18 AM Interesting, but of course states will not grow at the same rates for 60 years (stating the obvious).

Nevada 2. Arizona 3. Idaho 4. Florida 5. Utah Title: Re: 2050 Post by: Tender Branson on September 26, 2006, 01:48:43 PM I think that also Virginia will gain at least one seat in the coming 50 years.

Not that they'll go Democratic-, maybe from wingnut right to patrician right, but really, nowhere to go but left.

Title: Re: 2050 Post by: DownWithTheLeft on October 01, 2006, 05:07:56 PM your colours are wrong for Nebraska, Alabama and Maine. I described my problem w/NE and ME, idk about AL, I think I messed up the map and the number should be like 7 or 8 Title: Re: 2050 Post by: Colin on December 19, 2006, 06:28:53 PM patrician right The patrician right? I didn't know the Republican Party included Roman noblemen. Title: Re: 2050 Post by: KEmperor on December 19, 2006, 06:33:14 PM patrician right The patrician right?

Title: Re: 2050 Post by: TeePee4Prez on December 22, 2006, 02:08:32 AM Let's up PA doesn't lose any more or else PA-13 won't exist! I think the Southeast and Poconos will grow and we might actually see another CD in our area. The rest of the state, you will see some very large CD's in area. PA is taking a lot of NJ, NY, and even some MD/DC transplants so we won't be so bad. |
