Why does anyone think the GOP has moved so hard to gerrymander and lock in majorities where they have them, while casting doubt on elections? Next election their base will be two years older and two years deader while a big wave of Gen Zers turns 18. 2005-2007 births match the peak years of the baby boom.
It’s unfortunate the GOP have a stranglehold on Ohio and Florida. That will keep them competitive in national elections for a while.

Texas was where I’m surprised. Thought Beto would run Abbott closer.

You're nuts if you thought Texas could be competitive. It's one of the most extreme states when it comes to voter suppression. They have voter ID laws and literally make a gun permit an acceptable form of ID to vote while making student IDs ineligible.
They'd literally rather freeze to death while watcher their senator fly off to Cancun than allow a Democrat to take over and drag them into the 21st century. Between them and Florida I seriously don't know which one I give less of a shit about when they come scrambling up north when global warming puts their homes underwater.

I said closer not competitive, didn’t I?
A lot of racist white people who only like dumb black people.
