Percent change in total vote, 2012-16:

WTH happened in New Mexico? This heavy Latino state witnessed a decrease that other high Latino states did not see.

Also, voter suppression throughout the South is devastating, especially here in MS.

Yeah but some of the Black Vote being down turnout wise was because of Obama not being on the ballot.

Welp, I think we know why Mississippi trended R.

Also I bet we can flip Georgia if black turnout goes back to 2008 levels.

MS only moved from R+9 to R+10 though in terms of PVI.

The fact that MS and NM had no US Sen race in 2016 may have also been a contributing factor in their drop off.
