@MC: The most populous counties

(cities) almost always vote Democrat. The less populous counties

almost always vote Republican. Because of that, all but a dozen

states are almost given which way they'll vote. In those dozen

remaining states, voting is similarly consistent between urban and

rural. That leaves a handful of suburban counties to determine

who becomes the country's president.

Chances are, you're not in one of them. Neither am I.

@bdbr: Santa Clara County is baller.

I'd say 50/50 red and blue.

@HighlanderJuan:You can say this (as

many times as you want), but it's not true. There is no evidence ofstatistically relevant voter fraud. None. Nada. It's a myth made up

by Republican politicians who are seeking to restrict access to

polls by lower income voters.

@Ms_Phillips: Let me re-post the last part

of what I wrote (verbatim); hopefully you'll comprehend it this

time:

"That leaves a handful of suburban counties to determine who

becomes the country's president.

Chances are, you're not in one of them."

And no, apparently "one" (you) can't tell what I "listen pretty

exclusively to" because you guessed completely wrong.

@Bensky: I may be wrong but I think the

list is ordered by population. It would be nice if the authors had

included the numbers. I would guess that they tail off rather

quickly after the first fifty or so.
