As always it would be nice to have a zoom in on the Northeast, since you can't make out a lot of the smaller counties.  In NJ you obviously have a lot of diversity in the urban north, but apparently Cumberland is min-maj now?  That's actually, along with Salem, the most agricultural part of the state.  You do have some mid-size towns; Bridgeton is very poor and heavily-black, and Vineland (founded by the inventor of Welch's Grape Juice, which he created as a temperance alternative to communion wine) has a sizable Hispanic population.  But I didn't know it had quite flipped yet.

The large presence of Hispanics in Eastern Washington is really something.

That one random county in northern Minnesota must be something like 48% White / 48% Native / 4% Other.

Huh, surprised by Nevada. I thought there would be more rural Hispanics.

Too bad only 2% of them vote (most are not citizens and are a fairly transient population, migrating along with the apples and other fruits throughout the season.)

Thanks, it helps define my minority county clusters. Smiley

Really, outside of Reno/Las Vegas, Nevada is largely desert. There's very little agriculture, and very little else in the way of economic development aside from some ranching/casinos--making it a less attractive destination than West Texas or the Central Valley.

To be honest, I'm very surprised that San Luis Obispo County is still majority White, while Monterey County is majority Hispanic. I also assumed that Maricopa County, and at least Pima County, had no racial majority.

This does make me wonder if, under the current coalitions, large parts of West Texas will slip out from under the GOP by circa 2036.  Probably very few West Texas Hispanics vote, though...

Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Hispanic Texans are more likely to be Republican than Hispanics in other parts of the country.

Lots of agriculture in Monterey County and the lack of it in San Luis Obispo County basically explains it.
