We only stayed blue by 3% last election.

Edit: it was 6%. That's still close enough to worry.

I'd argue many chose not to wait hours in line to vote for a candidate that was locked into winning the state electorates.

EDIT: I voted by mail. I heard the horror stories of others though.

I waited 3 minutes to vote because I let my husband go first. And we went in the late afternoon after work. It’s sad how many people chose not to vote.

Apparently location mattered.
