What elections changed a state's political trajectory after they happened?
…Over the last 50-plus years:
• 1968
• 1976
• 1980
• 1992
• 2000
• 2008
• 2016
• 2020
These have been the last 50-plus years of United States presidential elections in which there were party switches. Eight such occurrences. And in every one them…there was at least one state which realigned.
They are not the only such states. But, all or nearly all of them are good examples.
