"Sean Wilentz: Blue Cities vs. Red Surrounds"

interesting number crunching, but is that anything new? larger urban areas have been voting democratic, and suburban and rural areas republican, for quite some time now...

why do these things seem like breakthroughs , when they've been true for many elections in the past? and are part of major party voter identification programs for gotv?

this is a bit like the shattering news that poor and working class neighborhoods have lower quality voting machines and staff than upper income areas...

wow...in our great democracy? with equality for all?

astounding.
