How Swing States Control The US Elections

[gabrielwang]

Texas hasn’t switched in so long and it’s surprising that it’s now slowly starting to be considered a swing state

[jabes]

Imagine living in a safe state where the party that's dominant is not your party.

[nsrivatsa]

Whos here after Ohio, Iowa, Florida, Virginia and Colorado arent swing states anymore

[ilect]

DC is truely blue, voted democrat every election since it got the 3 votes

[eliasemanueloliveiradasilv]

in Brazil our swing state which is Minas Gerais. since 1950, whoever wins the elections there also wins in the country. amazonas, rio de janeiro and rio grande do sul were also considered swing states, but recently the last two have moved a lot to the right, like florida.

Texas last time it went Blue was in 1976 for Carter, I guess this video was talking about margin of errors

[therkelleher]

I'll never understand why the USA uses an electoral college to vote for a president. They represent the whole country, so the person who the whole country votes for, should win.

[contract_to_kill]

Imagine watching a video like this and then still defending the electoral college

[ReneAlanisJr]

As a Texan, I love seeing us listed as a swing state

[acatreassuresyouthateveryt]

me : wait it's a game all along?
us gov : always has been

[James-jhec]

Nice video. Now I can understand how the system works in USA 🇺🇸. I live in EU 🇪🇺.

After 2020 census reappointment
Florida will be a very import State having 31 electoral votes

[mohammadshahidhusaini]

0:37 I find it strange when someone say TEXAS as a swing state...last time it was democratic was back in 1992.

[taylorl]

Won’t the electoral map be redrawn again this year?

[bradleymaravalli]

The easiest proposal is to change how electoral points are calculated is on a state-by-state basis. Look at Maine and Nebraska, where the points are calculated based on Congressional districts.

[sirdominic]

Fs in the chat for Nebraska and Maine in the thumbnail.

[Ese_osa]

So it’s not about majority vote rule and yet the USA wants to school the world on democracy. Is it supposed to be about state or the people

[kaustubhmaydeo]

POV: u came here after u saw Texas as a swing state

[ryanferensic]

Nebraska state wide if you take out just winning districts has been a solid Red State for over 40 years, last Democrat to win Nebraska was LBJ in 1964, yeah Obama won a district but LBJ was the last Democrat to win it as a whole and the last time Minnesota went Red was 1972 it should be Blue on the begging map as well

[kindnessfirst]

New York and Massechussetts have consistently voted for the Democratic Presidential candidate the last 4 decades. How does that make them swing states???
