It’s even worse than it looks. The blue in AZ/NM is mostly Navajo/Tribal areas. The Southwest corner in AZ thats blle has a total population living there of MAYBE 50,000 (being generous here) people total. And thats mainly in Yuma.
It *looks* worse than it is. Of all those Blue areas in NM and AZ, only the Albuquerque area is heavily populated. Northern NM is sparsely populated as is the Blue areas of AZ.
Not from the Dems perspective. It’s plenty worse than it looks for them. But it’s just semantics. Its not in their favor one way or another.
