— How the Rural-Urban Divide Became America’s Political Fault Line Such a
conflict isn’t unique to the U.S., but the consequences are far-reaching here.
– Emily Badger
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/21/upshot/america-political-divide-urban-rural.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In
the United States, where a party’s voters live matters immensely. That’s
because most representatives are elected from single-member districts where the
candidate with the most votes wins, as opposed to a system of proportional
representation, as some democracies have. Democrats tend to be concentrated in
cities and Republicans to be more spread out across suburbs and rural areas.
The distribution of all of the precincts in the 2016 election shows that while
many tilt heavily Democratic, fewer lean as far in the other direction. As a
result, Democrats have overwhelming power to elect representatives in a
relatively small number of districts — whether for state house seats, the State
Senate or Congress — while Republicans have at least enough power to elect
representatives in a larger number of districts. Republicans, in short, are
more efficiently distributed in a system that rewards spreading voters across
space. . .The median congressional district in America looks ideologically more
Republican, Mr. Rodden finds (the median precinct in the chart also voted
slightly Republican). And so Democrats have to find a way to win in those
places, even as the progressive wing of the party is ascendant and lobbying for
control of the party’s message. If Democrats hold on to some suburbs they
recently flipped — a possibility as suburbia diversifies and as
college-educated whites move toward the Democrats — Republicans could one day
be as concentrated in rural areas as Democrats have been in cities. In that
situation, one where Republicans pack their votes more tightly in rural America
and the median suburban district becomes slightly Democratic, the urban party
might actually start to benefit from geographic polarization. But there will
still always be the Senate.)
