Richard Parker, the author of Lone Star Nation: How Texas Will Transform America, has this to say about why Texas is trending blue:
“Real Texas has the largest Muslim population in the country. Vietnamese is our third language; Chinese is our fourth. Missouri City, near Houston, may be one of the most ethnically and racially diverse spot in America. It’s also one of the most densely populated. People are crammed in at nearly 2,600 per square mile — over twice that of New Jersey. The surrounding county was bedrock Republican but flipped for Hillary Clinton in 2016.”
