Strong leaning GOP states (states that the GOP has won at least 5 times in the presidential contests between 1992 and 2012) have gained 12 seats/electoral votes since the 1990s (GA, TX, and AZ account for all 12 additional votes though and they may very well become more competitive in future cycles). Strong leaning Democratic states (6-0/5-1) on the other hand have lost 14 seats/electoral votes during the same period. Where has this gotten the GOP? It's true that the population has shifted into red states but this may come back to bite them eventually.
