This chart maybe hard to read in a forum post, so let me summarize just Texas and Florida. Also take into account not ALL White people vote Republican. Also note that both Texas and Florida are expected to replace New York in population, and Electoral Votes.

For Texas, the white population will grow from 10 million to 12 million people. That is 2 million new voters. While the growth of Blacks will grow from 2 million to 3 million. And the huge jump of 5 million Hispanic to 10 million. RECAP. White people gain 2 million voters Texas, and Blacks & Hispanics will gain 6 million new voters.

For Florida, the white population is expected to grow from 10 million people to 12 million. While the growth of Blacks will grow from 2 million to 3 million. And the huge jump of 2 million Hispanic to 5 million. RECAP. White people gain 2 million voters in Florida, and Blacks & Hispanics will gain 4 million new voters.

So two Southern states... Blacks & Hispanics will gain 10 million new voters, and Whites will gain 4 million. More than 2 to 1 ratio is expected.
