Never. Their platforms may have changed some over the years, but the switch wasn't as radical as liberals like to pretend it was. That's just an excuse they make to keep repeating the lie that the racist Democrats joined the GOP after Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act.

Yes, that was ONE election. After 1964, most of the segregationists went right back to the Democrats.

Four of these states swung toward Wallace, one for Nixon, zero for Humphrey. All voted for Nixon in 1972. Carter is the only post-CRA Democrat to win any of these voters back, and even then not incredibly.

Yes, that was ONE election. After 1964, most of the segregationists went right back to the Democrats.

Clinton won Louisiana in 1992 and 1996. Georgia also went to Clinton in 1992 and was close in 1996 although Dole won it.

Yes, but only because of black support. Granted, a good chunk of whites in these states clearly voted for Clinton, but the vast of white Southerners voted Republican after 1964 except for Wallace and too a lesser extent Carter.
