what would a county map of the us look like

[Stranger in a strange land]

Alright, here is my second try. The percentages all work out this time between county and state levels.



I do find it slightly odd that Obama's percentage actually increases in a couple counties when it's just the white vote, though.

I would guess Asians in NorCal, especially the Bay Area, are probably more Republican than whites.

I know both of these will be extremely depressing, but can someone please do Louisiana and Alabama? I'm not asking for Mississippi because I pretty much know what it will look like, but LA and AL have a bit more regional variation.

most of the maps are going to look similar to the actual election maps. The places where it gets interesting is in polarized states.

The most polarized states (and by that I mean greatest difference between white vote and actual vote) are, in no order,

New Mexico
Texas
Louisiana
Alabama
Mississippi
Georgia
South Carolina
North Carolina
Virginia
Maryland

I'd also add OR.

OR is polarized, but it's polarized politically, not racially. IIRC, Obama actually won the white vote in OR. It just has very liberal Democrats and very conservative Republicans.
