All can be argued. As Lewis points out the beginning of realignement is probably 1928 (MA and RI going Dem, etc). The Democratic South was really a sinking ship from 1948 and onwards. However, I would say that it didn't really end until Nixon won in 1968. There you had a close election in which the Democratic candidate lost all of the South, save Texas. Previously unthinkable.

States based on relation to average, presidential elections:

1964



1968



1972



NOTE: there is some sort of a bug with the ME CDs, it won't allow me to give both of them and the state to McGovern...
