I was looking at the electoral votes map... I had not realized that due to the 2010 census numbers Republicans automatically get another 8 electoral votes: Texas added 4, Utah 1, South Carolina 1, Georgia 1, Arizona 1...
meanwhile on the D side all they get is +1 Nevada (which is almost a toss up) and +1 Washington
and Texas growth just keeps booming so in the 2020 census they will probably gain another 3!
kinda interesting for all the talk about demographic change favoring democrats it is not quite as clear cut as that...
