From what I'm reading and seeing the southern part of Texas is blue and it's slowly creeping up. The demographics of the state are changing.

I know it's still a solid red right now in normal election years but by 2024 you could see a real battle for Texas.
Georgia is on the list as well based on changing demographics in the state and it might be faster for Georgia as they're gaining more and more black people that are strong democrats and vote in larger numbers than the Hispanic people that are pushing the change in Texas.

I'm pretty sure my aunt and uncle who moved down there 20 years ago started to change the demographics. - Mel Profit Oct 23, 07:32 6
- Nice! I'd love to see Texas and Georgia go blue. With Georgia it could leave SC as the lone red state on the eastern seaboard. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 07:46 5
  - SC probably flips before TX does. it's been polling single digits most of the way. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 07:54 4
    - Really? Interesting. I don't see a Texas flip for a while but Georgia should come well before them. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 08:01 3
      - there hasn't been a quality one for at least a couple of weeks in SC so it's a bit of an unknown - Reagen Oct 23, 08:05 2
        
        This is for the current election or the future? I'm speaking about the future, like the next decade or two. - Krusty Oct 23, 08:14 1
