New Mexico voted more or less as democrat as Colorado and Virginia did in 2020 and before 2020 it was even more democrat than Colorado. While Colorado and Virginia have the fundamentals of a state favorable to Democrats, New Mexico doesn’t.
The state
- has a lot of white working class voters
- large number of Hispanic working class voters
- not very educated in comparison to other states
- Albuquerque is nowhere near as large as Denver, Phoenix, San Antonio, Vegas, other western big cities
- NM still has plenty of small towns, rural areas
- produces oil and is not what you would consider an “environmentalist state/ green energy state”
Why is it so democratic?
