Breitbart reports about the internal migration from high tax blue states to Florida and its impact on voting trends. They interview the Vice-Chair of the GOP in Florida, Christian Ziegler.
We’re trying to run up that score in voter registration,” he said, explaining that there were 250,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans in Florida when DeSantis first took office in 2018.
Now, there are more than 300,000 more Republicans than Democrats in Florida.
“So we’ve had this massive swing,” he said.
Ziegler provided another stunning data point, noting that one million net new people have moved to the state and registered to vote since DeSantis first took office.
“Out of a million, about half a million have registered as Republican, and only 17,000 have registered as Democrats. So we’re just obliterating the Democrats,” he said.
Power Line's John Hinderaker seems to think it's only Republicans doing the migrating. He writes:
Americans are sorting themselves into red and blue states. To be fair, though, the sort is mostly a one-way street: millions are leaving failing blue states and flocking to Florida, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, South Dakota, etc.
I'm not convinced he is correct. My conservative relatives who ranch in Colorado believe a lot of Democrats have moved there, turning their once purple state blue. I'd guess a fair few Democrats have moved from CA to liberal OR, too.
