It's not just in the valley, it's all of south Texas. Just wanted to point that out.

Anyone read any good article that explains this shift? It's just mindboggling to me. I remember driving to the border ten years ago and having to go through 2 check points in an hour. Lives in the area must have gotten more restrictive after Trump took office.

Yep Colin County went to Trump.

Yes but look at the trends.

Republicans winning the county on percentage by each cycle is declining.

2000- 73%
2004- 71.2%
2008- 62.2%
2012- 63.9%
2016- 55.2%
2020- 51.6%

Collin County which is still growing yet quickly diversifying is becoming more competitive. Will become the Ft Bend County of the DFW area though Ft Bend has been been competitive for a while.

If you were going to use a suburban county to highlight the conservative suburbs of DFW and Houston, you picked the wrong one. Collin County has shifted over 20% to the left in the last 16 years. Montgomery County in Houston has stayed bright red and the Suburbs East of Dallas and South of Fort Worth are hard to the right. Collin will be blue at some point. It will mirror Fort Bend.

Yeah. If Collin County was a mirror of a county in HOU, it would be fort bend for the international aspect

I’m not buying this argument that Biden wasn’t known. 8 years with Obama, really?

Yes, at the time of the post, it was projected to go red. We have since spoke about the change

Tarrant County voted red for senate though, probably because Cronyn isn’t as unpopular as Trump. So I guess it’s a swing county for now.
