The two-variable contiguous area cartogram below depicts enumeration units proportionally scaled to the data that they represent, namely electoral votes. The more electoral votes in a state, the larger the area of the state. The states are shaded with the color of the candidate winning the electoral votes.

That is an interesting question, do you have an answer?

Nope. I just thought I'd throw out a random, unanalyzed observation of my own.

You're correct, not always but I'd bet in the majority of cases. Look at Atlanta, St.louis, New Orleans, L.A. and Austin. They are all surrounded by red counties. Those that live in the inner city vote Democrat, those that make it the economic engines of the state live elsewhere and vote more Republican.
