Democrats have been trying to win Arizona for several election cycles, convinced that the growing Latino vote would turn the state blue. But in an election where Republicans grew among Latinos, migration from blue states was a major factor.
That’s the analysis floated by Gene Balk at the Seattle Times, who notes that “priced-out California liberals” have moved to Arizona in large numbers, and migration from Washington State — another liberal stronghold — was second-highest.
I looked at census data on state-to-state migration and found that since the 2016 election — from 2017 to 2019 — about 150,000 Californians who are eligible to vote (U.S. citizens, age 18 and older) moved to Arizona. While the data doesn’t tell us anything about the political affiliations of the those movers, California is, of course, one of the bluest states.
But guess which other very-blue state ranks No. 2 after California for sending expats into Arizona. That’s right: Washington.
…
From 2017 to 2019, 43,000 voting-eligible Washingtonians made the move south. While that number can’t compare with California, it’s still surprisingly large.
…
Keep in mind that Biden defeated Trump in Arizona by a margin of about 10,500 votes, so those 43,000 ex-Washingtonians certainly could have made a difference.
Two “red” states also sent large numbers of migrants into Arizona. Texas was third, after Washington, with 37,435 migrants. Utah was tenth, with 17,398.

So while there probably was fraud involved here, it has been mostly a case of Californication here steadily brewing over the last few years.
All states could pass legislation to require five years or residency to vote in elections.
It’s Tampa. It’s like complaining why Californians are moving to Austin TX.
They bring the virus with them, and cannot understand why it all turns into sewage, no matter where they live.
My best friend moved to Arizona years ago from Washington. He is extremely conservative and says everyone even most liberals down there knows that their election was a fraud.
One of my drivers moved to Florida, he and his wife are conservatives as well. Although there are millions of people fleeing blue states... a higher percentage of them are conservatives than those who are staying.
There's a reason Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade are blue counties. Libs from New England.
They should sterilize any McCainiacs in AZ! The dossier story alone should have destroyed the familiy’s reputation.
All states could pass legislation to require five years or residency to vote in elections.
That would violate federal law passed in 1970.
52 U.S. Code § 10502. Residence requirements for voting

Whenever I hear “Broward” county...I think “stupid.”
But perhaps I’m just being repetitive. Do they have any of those dimpled or hanging chads left? Let’s take a microscope to see if an attempt was made to puncture the paper. LOL
...or migration of red votes to blue votes in a corrupted voting machine...
Probably.....yet another example of libs fleeing the shitholes they create to infest and contaminate their new state
—
That’s how they created present day California - a base from which to spread their poison.
Nope!
Add Idaho and Montana in a couple of years
Like Georgia
What about Georgia? All the dumb Republicans in the state government were begging Hollywood to come.
Dead voters from blue states, or vote fraud specialists from blue states?
Agree.
But notice what county was not in the election news cycle this year as screwing things up.....Broward.
‘They’ move into a new area and spend the rest of their lives trying to remake it into the type of cesspool they left.
Go figure.
I think we’re underestimating the Mcstain and Flake influence on this election in AZ. They gave Trump zero support and were negative influences in the election.
