@BrendanNyhan @nataliemj10 if you mean that in terms of downstream effects (like a more southern gop/liberal dem party took stances on issues that ultimately meant WV would be with dems), then sure but if it takes 32 years to see an effect, it's not reasonable to suppose it's a direct effect — PolitiTweet.org

@nataliemj10 @BrendanNyhan first, your tweet was about civil rights. this article points out that the forces that led to regional realignment were more than civil rights, with religion and culture ultimately being necessary to secure GOP dominance of the region. i think that's fair — PolitiTweet.org
