We've had some extensive discussions in a W3C CG around supporting tooltip-like features on touch recently, but they didn't end up going anywhere. Most significantly, I think:
github.com/openui/open-... (note github's "64 remaining items [Load more]" in the middle)

Yeah, Bill Clinton won 2 presidential elections as a moderate without ever breaking 50%, also because they were 3 way races.

There's only so much messing with clocks can do to fix having only 10 or 11 hours (soon less) of daylight.
(I like to think of the clock adjustment as trying to peg sunrise to 6-7am and then letting sunset fall where it will.)

It also may well be that my intuition about heavy rainfall in places I've lived is a bit off.

It's also possible the numbers change substantially as you move slightly into the small hills to the west of all 3 cities, because hills have effects on rainfall. Not sure where you'd get good data for that, although Dulles Airport might have some.

Having grown up in Philadelphia suburbs and lived in DC suburbs, 2 inches in an hour doesn't seem like that much. (Not a weekly thing, but I think normal to happen once or twice in a year.)
The world record 1 minute rainfall is over an inch and was set in Unionville, Frederick County, Maryland.

So Dems just need to Make More City. And luckily, they have the power to do that! They govern almost all the cities, so they can pass policies to infill, build up, add transit, add multi-modal transportation, etc. etc. Where they govern states, they can pass state-level laws to upzone everywhere.

So, ok, that's the premise: denser areas vote bluer, less dense areas vote redder. And it's pretty much a linear, one-to-one correlation: denser = bluer.
All right, so, we don't know much about how to make more Dems, but we know this: more dense areas, more Dems.
