If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

It's a hot take, but I'd just redraw what we have. - 3 Californias - 4 Texases - Florida Panhandle goes to Alabama where it belongs - 1 Dakota - 1 Carolina - 1 Virginia - All islands (Long, Martha's Vineyard, the Keys, the Outer Banks) plus Michigan's UP join Hawaii - Verhampshire - RhoConnChussets
