Also, retirees are usually more conservative and want their money protected, thus they have a tendency to track more conservative with age.
Neither of these patterns have anything with a rejection of liberalism, and everything to do with wanting to be warm. lol
In California's case, I absolutely believe that state government overreach has a lot to do with it. Not saying that the people leaving are becoming conservative, but I think they'd like to avoid some o the red tape that isn't present in other states.
