Red State Blue State

Many of you have seen the red county vs. blue county voting map. Patterns have emerged, but there has not yet been any explanation of *why* those particular small areas of the country typically "vote blue" - until now. Amazingly, it seems that voting patterns may be influenced by particular geographic properties! Here are some examples:

• The blue areas along the Mississippi river, and other rivers and coastlines are "all wet".
  
  
• The blue areas located in the mountains are "high as a kite".
  
  
• The blue metropolitan regions are "particularly dense".

Any other isolated blue areas are simply inexplicable.

While an investigation into this phenomenon continues, the search for a cure needs your support.
