      Looks pretty comprehensive to me. Appreciate it!

      Though the “Other possible political realignments” section feels a little liberal in its definition of “realignments”, what with approximately every other election since 1964 being labeled as a realignment.

        That’s kinda why I called it not comprehensive, it seems a bit too inclusive for me to think that word quite applies.

        Other than Nixon it was a much more gradual change. Even in the 90s you still had deep red states voting for Democrats every now and then, look at all the states Bill Clinton won.

        It’s only in the 21st century where the realignment finally settled and you can really see where the lines were drawn.
