Why don't you post the county election map and then you'll see my point. There was an awful lot of red in the northeast and intense spots of blue in the south.
Maybe in your world, everything is black & white but from where I sit, there are lots of shades of gray.
Keep whistling by the graveyard...
Who says elections aren't black and white? As I remember that map, there was a large horizontal swath of blue across the lower South. That swath by and large corresponds to areas where cotton was intensely cultivated in the past and where many descendants of slaves still live.
Much of the map can be interpreted as corresponding how various racial groups vote. That is more valid perhaps than the city sophisticates versus the country rubes interpretation pushed by the MSM.
