    By that logic, every state is a purple state and the classification isn’t useful anymore.

    Instead, the criteria that actually matters is the degree of uncertainty about which side of the 50% mark it’ll fall on in any given election. Florida is no longer all that uncertain.

      Considering every state to be a purple state would probably be good for Americans as a whole.

            Maybe slightly worse than the Electoral College.
