Poll question: What should be our strategy for November? The "Swing State" strategy or the "50 State" strategy? |

:shrug:
Should we focus on states such as Ohio, Florida, and New Mexico or should we put our money as a party into states like Alaska, Utah, and Alabama? :shrug:

6. Electoral college is still winner take all for most states. |
|
I have no issue with investing in all 50 states, provided swings states are the priority.
WTF does it matter if we increase our percentage by a few poijnts in place like UT if we lose the GE?
