Of course we need to make sure those in blue areas respond. That's just passing defense against this potential citizenship question.

But with a targeted campaign, maybe we could get Democrats in red areas to depress the counts there - to achieve similar results in those red areas as Republicans are trying for in blue areas.

I don't have the data, but I'm sure it's out there.

And the thing is, per capita, red states already receive more from the federal government than blue states. Yet they don't seem to be spending it for to benefit democratic or progressive priorities.
