Just another person enjoying X. Left-leaning with an open mind to respectful political discourse, most of the time. Views are my own.

@Matthewtravis08 Morning Travis! I just prompted Grok about this, as I'm curious to see what it thinks!
I'll include relevant portions of Grok's response in the comments.

2025 Context
* Demographic Shifts: The U.S. is becoming more diverse, with nonwhite and college-educated voters (who lean Democratic) growing, while white noncollege voters (Republican-leaning) decline. By 2030, red states may gain seven electoral votes due to population growth, tilting the Electoral College further toward Republicans, even if Democrats win the popular vote.
* Polarization: Partisan sorting, where people move to ideologically aligned areas, amplifies the Electoral College’s bias, as urban (Democratic) and rural (Republican) divides harden.
* Technological and Social Trends: Social media and misinformation in 2025 amplify distrust in electoral processes, making transparency and fairness critical. The 2024 election’s focus on battlegrounds underscored how the system marginalizes most voters.
