Election Type: President Senate House Election Year: (Applies to Republican-held Senate seats only) 2018 2020 Move Democrats out until they reach this percentage: Move Democrats in until they reach this percentage: How to Treat Third Party Candidates Ignore Group with Republicans Groups with Democrats Reset to default Races Flipped Supply and Demand of Democrats by State

How it Works 1) Choose which election to look at (House of Representatives coming soon) 2) Choose the election year you are interested in. (Senate Only) Senators have 6 year terms and 1/3 of them are up for re-election every two years. This filters out the Republican-held seats that are not up for re-election that year. This way Democrats are assigned to those states first so they will be there in time for the election. All Democrat-held seats are included even if they are not up for election that year to maximize the pool of available Democrats. 3) Set your election parameters Here you can choose your ideal election outcome.

First set how less Democratic you are willing to make a region (and therefore how many Democrats are available to be moved out).

When calculating how many elections can be flipped, all available Democrats are considered as one large pool



You can also set how Democratic you want to make a Republican district. If you want each distrct to be firmly Democrat you'll need more people than if you were comfortable with a 50-50 split.

Democrats are assigned first to the state that needs the fewest people to reach its goal and then move on to the next. For the Presidential election, states are ordered by the number of Democrats they need per electoral vote. 4) Choose what to do with 3rd party candidates In most cases it's safest to just ignore 3rd party candidates. This option just removes them entirely from the model and pretends each election is a 2-way race



You may want to make sure the Democrats have a clear majority (especially in Republican-held districts), in which case you should group 3rd party candidates with Republicans. Don't worry Bernie fans, I went in and manually counted him as a Democrat so the tool won't send people to Vermont to unseat him.



Or if you're willing to pull more Democrats away and are more interested in just making sure that Republicans DON'T have majority, you can group 3rd party candidates with the Democrats

About Move the Vote Donald Trump lost the popular vote. But political power in the United States is based on geographic spread, not the raw number of supporters. There is lots of debate whether Democrats should spend their time attracting working-class white voters or wealthy socially liberal Republicans. But here's the thing, we don't need new Democrats, we just need them to be more spread out. There are already enough Democrats take over all branches of the federal government! Move the Vote uses actual election results to calculate how many Democrats would have to move into a Republican district to flip it. The benefit to using election results instead of party registrations is that these are people who actually took the time to go vote, no need to worry about people not showing up to the polls.



It actually takes fewer people to flip an election than you'd think. Many 'Republican strongholds' are in rural areas where a few thousand people can completely change the results.



If only we had a national organization with lots of money and a strong groundgame that could help organize millions of Democrats and help them find jobs and housing across the country...
