The political landscape

Delaware's small size belies its corporate significance as the legal home of much of American business. Its politics are anchored by New Castle County's suburbs, with a more conservative south, and Democrats have won statewide consistently in recent years.

Its largest population centers include Wilmington, Dover. Where a state's people live, and what those places do for a living, is the starting point for how Electorate HQ simulations reason about it.
