If the election had hung on a few thousand Pennsylvanians, the next President might have been picked by the U.S. Supreme Court.” Well actually, the election was rigged, which you, unfortunately, still haven’t figured out.

(Justin Lane/EPA) By Philip Bump July 12, 2018 In response to Post opinion writer Paul Waldman’s essay about the current power of the minority in American politics, the American Enterprise Institute’s Norman Ornstein offered a stunning bit of data on Twitter. In broad strokes, Ornstein is correct. The Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service of the University of Virginia analyzed Census Bureau population projections to estimate each state’s likely population in 2040, including the expected breakdown of the population by age and gender. Although that data was released in 2016, before the bureau revised its estimates for the coming decades, we see that, in fact, the population will
