We naturally (and understandably) are usually most curious about elections where there is the most competition between the Republican and Democratic Parties. Yet it can be just as interesting to see where there has been a lack of election competitiveness and how it came to be. So, this new series of posts of mine will dive into where the longest droughts for both Democrats and Republicans are in winning various offices, along with contextual information regarding these streaks. Today's post is part 1, looking at droughts by Democratic candidates in winning a state's electoral votes, while part 2 will shift to droughts by Republican candidates. #politicalscience #uspresident #elections

A final reminder: There are only two viable candidates in US presidential elections. If you are liberal and vote 3rd party, you take a vote away from the viable liberal Democratic candidate. That makes it more likely the Republican candidate will win. If you are liberal and vote for Jill Stein or Cornel West, you have effectively voted for Trump.

Why is swing state voting so important in US Elections? Answer: The result of voting in about a handful of states is not predictable and it is worth investing substantial campaign funds into those. These swing states are where the populations are, politically, very closely divided. Who will win the presidency comes down to which candidate can win the swing states. But we can get more granular: based on 5-5-5-270 theory, looking at the popular vote on a national level is not very useful to predict who is going to be the president. It all comes down to the 5% of voters in 5 the key counties of the 5 swing states. Do you agree, or disagree?
