Why is it so hard to believe that the people who lived in a state FOUR DECADES AGO were quite simply just more liberal than the people who live there now?
Parties change, people change, but sates... States never change.Haha, seriously, though ... that's how half the site looks at it. Vermont voted Republican by 17% in 1960 but then voted Democratic by 16% in 1992?! The parties clearly, absolutely and completely switched platforms. Nevermind that Vermont added over 173,000 new people (a 44% increase!) during that timeframe or that its religious and ancestry demographics fundamentally changed, it's just same old Vermont.
