That really looks promising. Dems should batten down the hatches for another 2016 deluge of red votes.

And why did they even give Republics the color red in the first place? Red seems to fit the libs better.

That came from the 2000 Election. USA Today right after the election published a map of all the counties in the US that were for Bush or Gore. They just happened to use red for Bush and Blue for Gore. It’s been that way ever since.

If you look at videos of election coverage before that year, Republican candidates were always shown in Blue and Democrats in Red.

Red is a warmer color, so I adjusted to it.
