SLC should definitely be red; it was nearly 70% Obama in 2008. A quick check on DRA reveals that Topeka was 54% Obama in 2008 and was therefore likely Obama this year as well as the county only barely swung to Romney. I'm pretty confident Boise voted for Obama as well, but less certain. Given the county results, I would guess Cheyenne was for Romney, but not certain.

Didn't even notice Juneau was grey. It's solidly Democratic, voted for Kerry in 2004 IIRC. I'm pretty sure someone posted a map with it as >60% Obama in 2012 that I've seen. No question it should be red.

I'm confident Topeka should be red, too. It makes up two-thirds of Shawnee County, and it was a bit over 54% Obama in 2008. The swing to Romney in Shawnee County was less than 1%. (McCain won by 0.23%, Romney by 1.05%.) Topeka had to have voted for Obama in 2012.

Ada County( Which has Idaho's Capital City, Boise), was won by Romney with 53.53% to Obama's 42.33%
Isn't a lot of it suburban though?
Yes but  it is Located in Ada County

We don't care how the county voted, only how the city voted. The city of Boise voted for Obama. Who the entirety of Ada County voted for is not helpful except as it might be informative as to how the city voted.
