So, for the foreseeable future, Republicans have an advantage due to the electoral college system. If you're a billionaire Democrat or a well-funded PAC, taking the long view, why not do the following:
Find concentrations of Democrats nearest to red states. Then, set universities and inexpensive across the border to draw left leaning voters. Wyoming, for instance, has a very small population and is nextdoor to CO.
OR, find reddish-purple states with left-leaning urban centers and just pump up the university towns. E.g. Texas, Georgia.
Obviously this is expensive, but like... the amount of money now going into every election season is extraordinairy.
Just to bottomline it: If Democrats were evenly distributed in the US, they'd win far more elections, both presidential and senate. But they hunker down in cities because of their precious flat whites and fusion sushi or whatever. Put that stuff in Wyoming in West Virginia!
