Proportion of the states' population to their largest city

Ah! I was thinking Cameron was the smallest LA parish which ruined it for me.

Is it how the biggest and the smallest county voted?

Yes, congrats.

Red - Biggest and smallest county voted for Obama
Blue - Biggest and smallest county voted for Romney
Green - biggest county voted for Obama, smallest county voted for Romney
Gold - Biggest county voted for Romney, smallest county voted for Obama

Interesting dynamics in a lot of these states, especially in Colorado, Maine, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the south.

Also I used 2010 census for the populations.

I thought Rockingham County, NH were bigger than Hillsborough County, NH. That's why didn't solve the problem straight off.
And I didn't know either that El Paso County is more populous than Denver.

It's somehow interesting that in the Great Plains and in the Mountain West the most populous counties favor the Republicans. I thought that electoral behavior was reserved for New Hampshire and Alaska only (and in some measure to Hawaii).

Places like Omaha and such are actually typically the most-left wing part of their very conservative states.

But that doesn't really fit IMO with Tennessee/Kentucky.. I can't imagine Memphis being home to a smaller percentage of Tennesseans than Louisville to Kentuckians.

Oh yes, Tennessee also has Nashville. Kentucky's only big city is Louisville.

And does Albuquerque really have such a relatively big population to all of New Mexico? And Atlanta such a relatively small?
