Yahoo News ^ | July 22, 2014 | AP

Working-class whites are no longer a majority of Ohio's eligible voters, a historic shift in a key Midwestern swing state that has political parties pledging more outreach to a broader coalition of demographic groups.

What are the reasons? Immigration? Birth rates? If GOP keeps losing Ohio, they are in trouble electorally.

Ohio, according to the last Census, is 82.7%% white.

That the "working class white" population has declined isn't necessarily for Republicans. Many in that group were or are labor union types that vote for Democrats.

I still predict seccesion will take place in various parts of the continental united states. We are too balkanized now to think, feel and act as one people. We become caught in the grip of inertia. There will be states of Sharia, and states Atheists, states for Christians and Jews as well. States where most people work, states where most do not work, but rely on Gov. Assistance. States that only recognize traditional marriage. States that limit the number of children produced unless you can pay the fines plus interest.

If Ohio transitions form a swing state to a blue state, the GOP in national elections are finished and the Democratic Primaries will the decide every presidential election.

With that in mind, the GOP must work to win and retain Ohio by appealing to blue collar voters and by taking measures to ensure that there are strict voting controls in Democratic precincts in Cleveland.

No. From the article:

But in Ohio, the group has been much more politically divided, encompassing deeply religious, GOP-leaning conservatives in rural areas, as well as unionized blue-collar Democrats in cities.

If the decline is mostly among labor union types, the decline in "working class whites" might actually help Republicans.

Wishful thinking. All statewide offices in Ohio are held by Republicans except for one stupid Senator Brown.

Highly unlikely that Blacks turn out in such high numbers ever again for any candidate. Certainly not for Hildabeast or Fauzcahontis.

Yeah, it’s inevitable.

It won’t just be the continental United States. Hawaii will go too. Probably one of the reasons King Urkel and the Wookie are looking at California for a home.

On the continent, Texas will probably be the first to go.

Liberal ‘facts’ many times are simple projections of what they want not what is.

I talk to a great deal of people in Cincy...I seriously doubt many have left the state or have switched parties...support for obumer and his democrap machine cannot be rising.

So I call BS.

I’d imagine Ohio has both issues (like most states); a declining white birthrate (and many of those whites born are welfare bastards for gibsmedats), and an influx of immigrants to keep the schools open and housing occupied.

What difference does it make? Ohio still votes for liberal Democrats.

Cincinnati is a different Ohio than the Cleveland area.
Been to both areas and noticed the difference.

That’s the key to OH & PA. Control voter fraud by unions and blacks.
