Let this sink in...

As of 2024, Los Angeles County has around 3.01 million registered Democrats, making up the majority of the area's registered voters. In total, the county has over 5.6 million registered voters, and Democrats represent about 53% of the registered voter base.

For the New York City metropolitan area, specifically in the five boroughs of New York City, registered Democrats make up a significant portion of the electorate as well. As of the most recent data, there are about 3.1 million registered Democrats in New York City, constituting around 68% of the total registered voters.

If you combined the registered Democrats from the Los Angeles and New York City metropolitan areas, you would have roughly 6.1 million voters (3.01 million in Los Angeles and 3.1 million in New York City).

This number exceeds the total population of some U.S. states. For example, states like:

Wyoming (with a population of about 580,00,

Vermont (~646,00,

Alaska (~734,00,

North Dakota (~780,00,

South Dakota (~900,00,

Delaware (~1 million),

Montana (~1.1 million),

Rhode Island (~1.1 million),

New Hampshire (~1.4 million),

Maine (~1.3 million),


And more states with populations below or around 2 million could be outvoted by the combined registered Democrats of these two metropolitan areas.

In total, the number of registered Democrats from these two cities alone could outvote those of more than 15 states, depending on their population. This showcases the significant voting power concentrated in major urban areas.
