In a rarity, the New York Times is reporting on some bad news for their liberal audience; that America is about to get redder thanks to internal migration.
âDemocrats, forget the last election. Winning future ones might be about to get even harder, and it has nothing to do with the border or inflation or trans rights or Trump - and everything to do with the numbers on this spreadsheetâ the narrator begins in a video essay.
The spreadsheet heâs referring to is one showing internal migration between the states, which the Timesâ Benjamin Applebaum went through.
Referencing data that should âstrike fear into the heart of every Democrat,â the narrator explains âover the last 20 years, 9 million more people migrated from blue to red than in the other direction. And Democrats, this is bad news for you. Why? Because the size of a state's population determines how many electoral college votes it receives. The next national census takes place in 2013, and assuming the migration flows on this spreadsheet continue until then, look what happens. California loses four votes, New York loses three, Illinois loses two, and other blue states like Minnesota, Oregon, and Rhode Island all lose a vote. And they go, just like the people, to those red states. In total, this reallocation could cost Democrats 12 electoral college votes. And don't forget, this would be locked in for a decade until the next census. So if your 2032 candidate wins exactly the same number of states as Kamala Harris just did, they wonât get 226 votes, theyâll only get 214.â
