EV map for 2020

[Joe Biden 2020]

I see the economic slowdown we are having now and the eventually collapse in 5-8 years affecting these growth numbers quite a bit.

Yes, I have heard theories and anecdotes that some people who are upside down on their mortgages in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys are moving to less expensive regions (Idaho, Arizona).

I have another theory for you guys. I think the more conservative californians move to places like Idaho and Arizona due to the lifestyle that is offered there. Arizona is great for Orange county country club republicans and Idaho for rural Californians looking for cheap land that is actually useful. Whereas Nevada attracts more urban californians from the north and south and Colorado attracts silicon valley tech types who are mostly progressive. Thus I can see Arizona being  a republican state for a while whereas I totally expect Nevada to switch this election and Colorado should also become a dem state soon.

I don't think the exodus is that big.

Is this the map for the 2010s apportionment or for the 2020s?  2020 will still use the same EV map as 2012 and 2016.  The '20s map won't start until 2024.  Just like the 2000 EV map was the same as the 1992 and 1996 map.  2004 and 2008 had the '00s map.

Florida will definitely be slacking off in growth as compared to the places out west that you mention. Our economy is in a slow decline right now and fuel prices are destroying everyone right now.

Damn. I had no idea Florida was on such shaky ground.

Ah, the Iraq War. The fiasco that keeps on giving.

I think part of Florida's impending decline is partly non-political, but weather-related in the form of all the hurricanes that have hit Florida, especially in 2004 and 2005.
