Which would be harder?

[ClimateDem]

For the Republican nominee to win win every electoral vote, including the District of Columbia or for the Democratic nominee to win every electoral vote, including NE-3?

[NeverAgain]

We all know that the Democrats have a severe advantage in our electoral system since 2010. I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats win 538-0 till 2040, damn liberal gerrymanderers.

[RR1997]

I think it would be harder for a Republican nominee to win every EV. There is no way DC goes GOP. It would even vote for a Green Party candidate before a GOP one.

[Cryptic]

Realistically, both are equally impossible.

Hypothetically, I think it'd be harder for the Republicans to get to 538, mainly because of their abysmal performance in the District of Columbia. Consider, Obama managed to get over 24% of the vote in Utah, whereas Romney got only over 7% of DC!

Non-Mormons in Utah are very liberal in their voting. Non-Mormons in Utah vote much like non-Mormons in California.

Nebraska's 3rd is an R+23 district, whereas DC is D+41. Pretty easy answer here.

The former. DC is like D+40. Even UT or WY is R+20 at most.

[The Other Castro]

A Republican has a 0% chance of winning DC, but a Democrat has a 0.0000000001% chance of carrying every electoral vote.

Fair, but most of the other major Republican bastions are the same. Obama still scrapped 27% in Wyomeng, 27% in Nebraska 3rd CD, and 32% in Idaho. And as low as those are, they aren't as bad as to Romney's 7% in DC. Given the Democrats consistently win 80-90% of the vote there, I think DC is a hypothetically harder nut for Republicans to crack.

Option 1 of course. DC being carried by a Republican? Not a chance. Not unless he magically has a D attached to his name on the ballot.

DC has stronger reasons not to vote Republican (Budget cuts equals laid off government workers) than any state has not to vote Democratic.
