I usually don't watch the videos on here especially those with any length.
But I live in Albuquerque and thought I would check this one out. I'm glad I did.

This helps me to understand why the southern part of the state is more conservative than the northern part.

Thanks for sharing.

would have been enslaved

I grew up in Cruces and it's a bit more liberal with NMSU there but more conservative then the north. The east and west are the most conservative, except Gallup.

Did that happen anywhere in the U.S.?
Maybe 'Spanish California'.
