Well, in fact there is no BIG difference (percentagewise) between 2010 and 2018 elections:
2010: Bentley - 57.58%, Sparks - 41.87%
2018: Ivey: 59.46%, Maddox: 40.39%
About 1.5-2%. Very stable and unelastic electorate. But i have a question about the "fate" of these 2010-Blue Dogs. Are they "Red Dogs" now or what?
In the aggregate, inelastic, but huge shifts in metro/educated areas vs rural. Yeah, the blue dogs are red now, though they're old and disabled too. Rural areas have no viable workforce, if they have something going on workwise, then a bunch of hispanics magically show up. That's how things work in rural America these days.
