The biggest blue states (CA, IL, NJ, NY) are losing massively while the biggest red states (AZ, GA, NC, TX) are gaining massively.

And getting less Republican as more people move there.  

The only state that has seen a Democratic trend out of those is North Carolina.

California is growing faster than the national average. If you're going by the domestic migration chart, you're forgetting about immigration. California has the most foreign born per capita, about 27%.

Well yes, California has a ton of immigration but its losing native born people.

Hasn't Georgia, though? That didn't used to be the case with in-migration in the 1990s, but I believe that domestic migration is one driver of Georgia's increasing racial diversity.

If there is one it has yet to be seen in great numbers. Its arguable there has been a slight trend since 2004 (when Bush got 58% in the state) but since 2008 almost every Democratic candidate in high profile races consistently lose by between 5 and 10 points (2008 Senate with the bumbling idiot Chambliss being the exception). Georgia Dems put up their best recruits in 2014 (Nunn and Carter) and they both lost by 8. While 2014 was a good year, the racial demographics in Georgia that year were the same as 2008.

Georgia, since its a deep south state, is very inflexible and therefore would take a long time to trend, so I'll give it to you that we could be seeing a very slow democratic trend in the state.
