Most socially liberal Deep South state?

[ProgressiveModerate]

Of the options listed, probably SC as there are small but growing pockets of white liberals in Charleston and Columbia. Furthermore, it's the state where Ds overperform black-white racial stats the most.

Also as the person above said, OK is not a "deep south" state culturally or historically. "Deep South" usually refers to states in the southeast US that were part of the Confederacy during the civil war, have long histories of racism, and have notable black populations today outside just the major cities.

I excluded Louisiana

Louisiana vs South Carolina would've been a close call

Louisiana is far more racially polarized than South Carolina, the only exception being the immediate downtown of New Orleans.

You talk a big talk.  Louisiana has elected many more Democrats to statewide office, as of late. 

That's fair, but does that make them more *socially* liberal? I mean heck, MA currently had a Republican governor but does that make them more socially conservative than nearby ME?

In a normal federal election, Louisiana tends to be about 5 points to the right of SC, and LA is just deeper south than SC. The consensus is that both GA and NC have been culturally changing in this regard and I'd argue SC is as well, it's just not talked about as much given SC is still functionally safe R.
