Describe someone who voted in 1992 for the very first time, has always lived in a state that gave its electoral votes to the same party in each election ever since (e.g. Maryland or Alabama), and has always voted for the nationwide EV winner.

There are 14 states that have voted for the Democrat in the past 7 elections, and 13 states that have voted for the Republican in the past seven elections (assumes that we are not excluding states with faithless electors).

I wanted to avoid writing "voted" thee times in a row. But if you exclude Maine from the all-Democrat states, you should also exclude Nebraska from the all-Republican states.

I interpreted this as, for example, an Alabama Clinton/Clinton/Bush/Bush/Obama/Obama/Trump voter, not that they have to constantly move.

My question was actually intended like you thought; I didn't have transplants in contemplation, as it more interesting to analyze a swing voter in a politically static state.
But I didn't want to savage jimrtex hard work. Smiley

I thought it was the state, not the voter, who voted for the national EV winner.

No, no. Sorry if I didn't express myself accurately. I meant it the other way round: swing voter and static state.

Using a Deep South state, my answer would be a fairly well off black Evangelical Christian who attends a predominately white church in the suburbs of Birmingham.

That would fit - except for 2016. I don't think a black Evangelical Christian would vote for Trump.
