14. The South also started getting more Republican
as more and more northerners moved down here. Twenty + years ago when I moved to the area where I live now (a tourist area on the NC coast) people would have laughed their asses off if you were said you were going to run for office as a Republican. As more and more Yankees moved down overtaking the native population, Republicans are the norm. Of course this doesn't account for the entire party switch, but I believe that it does account for a greater percentage of the switch than most people realize.
