Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think so.
The Philadelphia Inquirer on Monday published a story based on a fallacy.
The subheadline reads, “‘City folks’ who moved to fast-growing far suburbs could help Kamala Harris defeat Donald Trump in Pennsylvania”
The main headline was this: “Philly’s exurbs turn blue as growth expands”
It is true that the collar counties surrounding Philadelphia have slid from Republican to Democratic over the past few decades.
And that has led to those counties — Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks, Chester — being run by Democrats.
Which has zero to do with electing a President.
Whether you are voting from deep blue Philadelphia, or light blue Chester, the vote goes into the same statewide bucket. What county you live in changes nothing in the statewide totals. So the move to the exurbs will not help, nor hurt, Kamala Harris in any way.
