Whatever.  it looks like it's just southern states finally having those identifications catch up with their voting patterns.

It's kind of ironic that TNVolunteer is the one posting a map that has New Hampshire as the only Republican Obama state.

Yeah but Louisiana and Kentucky are so much more Republican on the federal level than they are at the state level. Arkansas, West Virginia, Tennesee and Oklahoma state level Republican Party ID is slowly catching up playing catch up with their federal level voting it looks like.

I'm surprised the Republicans have a 4 point advantage over Dems in Nevada at the state level since voter demographics don't favor them there.

New Hampshire is on odd ball with a 9 point Republican advantage as is Maine with a 4 point Republican Advantage but Maine politics are weird though.

LOL, that map is nonsense.

TX and KY are solid GOP at this time. LA, GA and AZ are leaning GOP.

MN, PA, WI, MI and NV are leaning Dem.

MN, PA, WI, MI and NV are leaning Dem.

KY-The Dems still have a 4 seat advantage in the "Kentucky House Of Representatives" and they still hold "Attorney General" and "Secretary of State" offices.

WI-Dems only hold "Secretary of State", 3 Seats out of 8 in the US House of Representatives, and 1 of the 2 US Senate Seats. Republicans control everything else currently. The state has also voted for Dem Presidential Candidates in every Presidential Election since 1988 even though 2000 and 2004(especially) the state was close.

NV-The Republicans control every office. The Dems have the 1 of 2 US Senate Seats and 1 US House Seat out of the 4 that the state currently. Nevada has voted for the Presidential Winner in every Presidential Election since 1980.

MI-The Republicans control every state office. The Dems only have 5 US House Seats out of the 14 that the states has. They do control the 2 US US Senate Seats and have voted Dem in Presidential Elections since 1992.

MN-The state is more Dem than it looks. The Dems control every  office except for "The State House of Representatives" and the Republicans control 3 out of 8 US House Seats.

LA-It looks like Minnesota on helium. The Republicans control everything except for the Governor's Mansion. I'm surprised the state is as Dem as it is still and it isn't red as it should be.
