From WSJopinion: Voters unhappy with one-party progressive rule are increasingly voting with their feet by moving to states where leaders share their political values, writes AllysiaFinley
Journal Editorial Report: Republicans might owe a House majority to gains in New York. Image: Kent Nishimura / Los Angeles Times via Getty ImagesOne overlooked story from the midterm elections is how Democratic governors in the bluest states underperformed Republican governors in what were once hotly contested states. One reason is that independents swung for incumbent Republican governors in the best-governed states and against Democratic ones in the worst.
Another is that voters unhappy with one-party progressive rule are increasingly voting with their feet by moving to states where leaders share their political values. This ideological sorting has been happening for some time but accelerated during the pandemic. Republicans in red-tinted states have benefited from this migration, and it might have protected some Democrats in blue ones too.
