What are you basing that claim on?
Ask yourself: How did the deep south vote in the electoral college back then? Then ask yourself how they vote today. It's pretty simple. I'll admit that it over generalizes by disregarding the specific issues faced by society at the time of their respective prevalence, but it's still a fact that, at least as states, the same one's voting republican today were voting democrat back in the day.
And many voted democrat as recently as 1992...hell carter won the entire south in 1976

Carter - southern democrat
Clinton - southern democrat
Enough of the new Republicans at the time felt comfortable voting for someone who seemingly represented what the south used to be--solidly democratic.
The other Carter and Clinton voters were still southern democrats who had not made the transfer yet.
Example: LOUISIANA voted Democrat in 1996. Most of those people are now Republican.
It's not that hard to figure out.
sources: southern politics poli sci class. We studied EVERY election in detail from the 1930s on.
undergraduate degree: history
graduate degree: history (southern emphasis)
current job: US History teacher
And your credentials are? I really don't like being such an insufferable douche, but you leave me no choice.
Don't worry, I don't steer our youth wrong...
