I would argue the opposite. An increasing minority vote/poll in a "safe" state would pull resources away from swing states to keep the state "safe". Not many people would have imagined Georgia going blue in federal elections but here we are.
If things are bad enough that NY goes red, how I voted is the least of our problems.
I mean actually red or blue states. Georgia’s dynamics have been moving centerward for years, and people who pay attention to that stuff knew that.
And how do you think Georgia started going blue? It doesn't happen overnight.
Same with Texas, down to the fact that their attorney general was bragging about preserving republican minority rule by preventing the "wrong" people from voting.
