Just the democrat voting ones with high immigrant populations in swing states I expect.

That's cool, cause they seem to be losing elections in red states. The swing appears to be such that short of screening for voter intentions at the door would still have them lose. Not that I have much faith they won't adjust the results after the fact.

Yeah, they don't need to worry about red states because god emperor Trump will just order the Republicans in power in those states to cook the books and give them the win no matter what.

That's evidently untrue, given that two dozen districts Donald won in 2024 have flipped this year. The simple fact here is that they cannot adequately deduce where they have enough strength to win at this point. Donald has become that unpopular.

Honestly bro, Lemmy is just full of doomers. They can try whatever they want, but the numbers just don't seem to be there

They seem awfully quick to ignore Donald's many failures in the last year. Hell, he was even forced to release Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Or that they have to downscale in Minnesota, or that scotus just okayed California's maps, or that the assumption of Latin support they gerrymandered around wont hold, or that zoomers have flipped right back against them, ect ect

I really hope you're right.
