A large number of people have been moving away from states with high taxes and heavy regulation of business (like New York and California) to states with low (or no) income taxes and a regulatory climate that is more friendly towards business (like Texas, Florida and North Dakota).
This can be counter-productive.
Normally, Democrat ruled states have very high tax rates, while those ruled by the GOP have lower rates. When businesses move from high-tax states to low-tax states, they also take with them the mostly Democrat-oriented employees. As a result, the GOP becomes weak in these states. Look at the case of Nevada. It turned blue for the exact same reason.
