Always fascinating looking at 20+ year old Texas election maps and seeing how much the political geography has changed. Thanks as always!

These were days when Democrats actually won rural whites but Dallas and Houston were still reliably Republican, and El Paso?!

And then, in 1994, Texas elected a Democrat as treasurer, who campaigned explicitly on a platform of abolishing the treasurer position (which she did).

I mean, this clearly doesn't hold true anymore, but it's pretty universally accepted that the suburban South accepted Republicanism WAY before the rural areas, which tended to have more Yellow Dogs (I think most of these people died off rather than switched parties).

Sorry, I went to upload a few more TX maps and found that I was flipping El Paso and Ellis counties.
