This is so stupid. I know many people from California have moved to TX, AZ and FL they are and always will be Democrats. This article is pure speculation. And should be labeled opinion.

gerrymandering creates the scenario. It doesn’t matter how many dems move to TX if the districts are gerrymandered to group all dems to 1 or 2 districts so that the minority party controls the majority of districts and state electoral votes. A good reason to eliminate the electoral college.

Correct. Some states, like Utah, have legislatures that actively gerrymander along partisan lines despite their voters and Supreme Court disallowing it. Gerrymandering is a disease.

I believe scotus has, beyond all reason, held that drawing districts along partisan lines is constitutional. This from our “originalists “ despite a robust history that the founders were very suspicious and skeptical about political parties and their adverse impact on the republic. They were right.
