Alaska has been moving more and more democratic over the past decade or so but has been largely under most people’s radar

Democrats won Alaska’s at large house seat in 2022. There was also recently a major flip in the Fairbanks Alaska borough earlier this week a democrat won the mayor race despite it voting R+15 in 2020. Though Alaska does split their vote more than other states

Polling is rather limited in Alaska which makes it harder to tell exactly how things are going on for the presidental race. Some put Harris within striking distance. It’s possible for it to end up flipping this cycle or in the near future

    I know it’s unlikely, but I’d like to see Florida, Texas, and Alaska go blue, specifically to deprive Republicans of those stupid electoral maps they use to claim the country is mostly red. You know, the ones that don’t account for population density.

      They’d just show voting districts zoomed out instead. That’s always going to look red, but dirt don’t vote…
