Alaska is kind of interesting.
Anybody know what makes Southeastern Alaskan whites more Democratic than the rest of the state?
The state capital of Juneau is Southeast Alaska's largest city, with all the attendant government workers and the liberalism that comes with it. Plus, it is more dependent on government than the rest of the state. Even leaving a city like Juneau, Sitka or Ketchikan with your car requires a trip on the government-subsized state ferry. There is no road out of there. Their economies are also more tourism-dependent than much of the rest of the state, especially cruise ship tourism. And the main extraction resources are timber and fishing, not oil or gold.
