How do Italian-American converts to Protestantism vote?

[Indy Texas]

How do you define "Italian-American?"

Texas and Louisiana have a decent number of Italian-surnamed people because New Orleans and Galveston were once major points of immigration.

If they are Protestant today, it's probably due to either intermarriage with non-Italian Protestants to the point where there's very little Italian about them today except their surname, or choosing to go to a local Protestant megachurch rather than a Catholic parish that's likely smaller and not as plugged into the community. In either case, I'd bet these people are very Republican.

Maybe in the North, you have more Catholic-to-Mainline-Protestant defection and if the switch was recent, those people would specifically probably be more D-leaning today.
