I came across two strange facts, does anybody have an explanation for these?

1) In looking over a map of the under-30 vote, most of it makes sense. Mostly left leaning as a whole and seemingly correlated with overall partisanship. Strong R states like Tennessee, Kentucky, and a few mountain west/great plans states are just barely republican. The most republican under-30 state however appeared to be Indiana, which was republican by high single digits. Is this just a statistical anomaly or is there a valid reason for this? Possible reason I can think of: A) college towns don’t get the same margins in Indiana as in other states, though I thought this was mainly due to the surrounding areas not the students B) maybe the rurals and northwest are far more conservative than their parents, though I would think this is countered by the growth of white collar professionals in Indy and Hamilton

2) Somehow females apparently voted to the right of males in Kentucky. Again, anomaly or is there a reason? Maybe this is more common than I think in deep red states and I just happened to notice in Kentucky
