I see a lot of posters theorizing some radical shifts to the electoral map occurring over the next 20-30 years. Some think that the Northeast will significantly trend to the right (making states like CT competitive and causing NY/NJ to no longer be safely Democratic strongholds), that Appalachian and Southern whites will move to the left and Democrats will begin to win in the South and KY/WV, that OR/WA will become competitive or Lean R states, and/or that the Mountain West and Plains move to the left. There are some very different ideas out there as to how the electorate will trend by region.
What sort of realignment would you imagine happening by 2040? What would the PVI by state map look like after your imagined realignment, when would it happen, and why did such a shift occur?
