Growing population in America’s highly educated enclaves has led to huge gains for the Democratic Party. And it’s changing the electoral map going into 2024.
That may be true, but what the article was really trying to point out was how increases in these college areas (and therefore college aged voters) is starting to make a big difference. The example they gave was that, at least in the most recent election, the area around Madison used to cancel out the red suburbs around Milwaukee, but now Madison is so strongly liberal that they out weigh those suburbs and therefore tip the scales in favor of Dems. If this trend continues, and if the Dems can replicate it in other swing states (big “if”), then it could change the way politics are played in America.
