Am I crazy to think that maybe Louisiana has a better chance of becoming a swingy Southern state before stubbornly inelastic states like South Carolina and Mississippi?
Seems like the GOP potentially has a lot of room to fall in populous parishes like East Baton Rouge, Jefferson, and Caddo.
I'm not saying this is something that's gonna happen overnight or really any time soon, but is there even a chance it happens before those other states at least?
LA has gone from R+10 to R+12
RI has gone from D+11 to D+8.
Although providence, Newport, and Bristol are too blue to really make it another NH/ME
type New England swing state. It will get closer, but unless the Hispanic realignment accelerates fast, RI is in the D column until atleast 2035
