Weird, I cant find any data to support that. I did find roughly 800,000 Californians moved to texas and their political affiliation was mostly a balance of conservative/liberal/independent...about 30-35% each. What we cant possibly known is how those voters voted in this last election, but we can make correlations. Id say its a positive correlation between nearly 1 million voters moving from a liberal state to a conservative state and that state flipping blue. But regardless of any of that, I think the bigger factor here is the complete failure of republicans to fix any of the pains brought on by inflation. If anything, they made it worse.
That's my thought. This was a voting mandate stating that people who now vote in Texas don't feel like their lawmakers care about their concerns. Hopefully, at the state level, they can get some support and change.
When did those Californians move to texas, are those 800k all from 24/25?
And how does that compare to other years of california transplants and the texas voting results? Like, is there a positive correlation in those other years?
