FLA dude or PA dude? I NY Dude

PA - and that's the thing, people will look at it as "a state" and they'll interview some random ass guy from the middle of the state and the people watching will see this individual, and go "if that's what people in PA are like, (insert conclusion here)" when in reality PA's like 5 regions. Pittsburgh, along with Allegheny County (me) / a decent chunk of counties surrounding the Philly area are solidly on one side of things, Erie area and some parts of the northeast are the only real swing parts of the state, and the middle is either Jr.Alabama or the Amish. The state on the whole averages out to a swing state, but barely any areas are actually swingy. So the odds are if any particular news channels go out and interview people, they'll do so from a particular area, and people not from the state will extrapolate the people they interview to be representative of the state on the whole, when in reality they're anything but.
 

Gotcha. Yeah, that does seem rough. I'm guessing that happens a lot of places, also. Florida, Arizona, def Texas. Rarely urban people are interviewed, and that's where most dems are. This is probably obvious.

Edit: Texas has such a rep for being Republican, but BIden could win it this year. Just ridiculous voter suppression by the texas state government. Like, the state tried to throw out 120,000 ballots in a very democratic area, but the state supreme court overruled it
