Which of these reliably red deep south states has the most potential to become more competitive?

South Carolina, believe other avatars from the south on here. MS can have a black plurality and it will still take 10-15 before it show up in the voting population. SC is more demographically similar to GA and NC. Its population is more educated and its whites are more Democratic than Georgia.

Horry County isn't the only part of the state that is growing. There is still Charleston, Greenville, and the Charlotte suburbs that provide opportunities for the Democrat.


Compare that to a state like MS with stagnant growth and arguably one of the worst brain drain rates in the country. MS black population has been moving only one point every decade. It will take a long for demographics in MS to get to the point Democrats need it to be.
