Which safe R states are most likely to become swing/blue states any time soon?

What is the Atlas obsession with MS turning Blue.

I assume people think it'll become majority-black soon.

The African American population in MS has grown by less than 2% of the total population in the last two decades. There is no evidence of that.

The size of the African-American population, and the resulting requisite percentage Republicans need to get among Whites to keep the state Republican.

The current heavily GOP numbers among MS Whites is the product of Boomer's being exceptionally Republican. So the problem for the GOP is that 85% GOP whites will be replaced by 65% GOP whites, which is not high enough to keep it Republican.

Alaska, obviously... it's trending bluer by the minute

I could see Kansas becoming a Lean R state in ten or 20 years if Wichita and the KC suburbs become Democratic, but it will still be outnumbered by the Republicans.

South Carolina might go the way of its two neighbors eventually, but it will take longer. Mississippi's more likely than Alabama but I doubt it will go D anytime soon

what is your evidence for Alaska becoming blue?
