Most Polarizing State

Looking simply at county results, South Dakota and Texas would be on top, as they both have some of the absolute most Democratic and most Republican counties in the entire country.

If one ignores rural areas and focuses more on higher population centers, it is hard to top Michigan, when one compares Wayne County to Ottawa County.

I could probably write a book on Michigan, even SE Michigan alone.

You should do that; I'd buy it.

San Francisco and Orange counties, California. That was easy.

True, although Orange county isn't as Republican as Ottawa county. Bush actually failed to get 60% in Orange in 2004.

San Francisco County is more liberal than Wayne though, so I'd say it's about a draw.
