Blue Model Failure

The Washington Examiner reports:

Between 2000 and 2010, the population in the eight states without income taxes grew by 18 percent, while all others grew by 8 percent; the (then) 22 states with right-to-work laws grew by 15 percent; the others grew by 6 percent. Population flowed from north to south, with warm sun and friendly Republican governors. Florida grew by 17.6 percent, Texas by 20.6 percent ... and New York by 2.1 percent. (As it grew bluer, it became less important. It has no more electoral votes than does Florida, and it now trails Texas by nine.)
