Same thing happened to New Hampshire. The Massholes, fed up with MA, moved north and the shift from red to blue began.
Please don’t remind me. Though I think we have a good chance of throwing out the lefty congresscritters who got elected in the protest vote of 2006 — Hodes and Shea Porter.
There is a chance we will dump our liberal weenie of a governor too. Sununu and Judd Gregg are solid Senators, IMO. This is a critical election in NH, but the state is definitely bluer due to the failure to control the state’s southern border, as you said.
I am guardedly optimistic.
It’s incredible, isn’t it.
I forgot to mention in my post above, that in addition to higher taxes and slower economic growth, our school rankings are also declining, because the NOVA democratic politicians are making cities like Arlington, sanctuary cities, and the illegal kids aren’t testing well (imagine that).
