Where Population Growth Matters in November

There is a tendency in politics to think of communities as static entities – or at least very slow to change. For some Pittsburgh, Pa., is still a smokestack-laden union town and Orange County, Calif., is still rock-ribbed Republican.

But four years can be a long time in some places, particularly where the population is rapidly growing and changing. In some big battleground states, those places could have a big impact in November. [cont.]
