Some counties are "redder" now because of the huge turnout.
From a prior post, Bush increased his vote percentage in EVERY single state this time around, when compared with 2000, except for Vermont. So, not only are the red states getting redder, the blue ones are getting redder too (purplish??). This proves that the country is NOT more divided than ever. It's actually moving in the same direction. If it were more divided, the reds would be getting redder, and the blues would be getting bluer. That didn't happen. Just the opposite.
