The color scheme has no political correlation at all.  Imagine the different shades of the same color to be completely separate.

Clue #1:  It's to do with the names of the states.

The pink shaded are states with two names. New Hampshire, Rhode Island, North Dakota, etc.

Still trying to figure out the rest.

Hint 1: This is not political.

Spot on.

If it makes you feel any better - I hate Oklahoma.

Hint: numbers do not refer to electoral votes

No one guessed this, so: Cities with population 100,000 or greater

Only 5 in NY ?

Most of New York State's population is concentrated in New York City.

I didn't think so either, but it is true...

1. New York City (8,274,527)
2. Buffalo (279,745)
3. Rochester (211,091)
4. Yonkers (196,425)
5. Syracuse (141,683)
