This is often said, but why?
It has trended D in every election since 2004, and Trump underperformed there in 2016 (even though his opponent was an awful fit for the state). The state has also gotten a lot more competitive at the state level as well. I'll believe AK acutally trending back to Rs when I see it.
We don’t really know what’s driving the population growth in the Anchorage exurbs, but these areas don’t seem to have gotten a lot more R in recent years either. I certainly hope I’m wrong, though.
