Hm. An east vs. west divide here, just like in the South Dakota Democratic primary for President. Although Burgum won pretty much every county, but you can tell by the margins of victory in the east compared to the west.

The E/W thing is endemic to SD, and is about the Missouri river.

Not really sure you can see a real E/W divide here, considering Stenehjem won only 3 counties.

ND has an E/W divide that has been strengthening over the last decade. You can see it in the pres results in the last two cycles. It wasn't as visible in the pres winner counties during the 90's, but if you look at Perot he did substantially better in the west.

ND has a sizable divide, just look at the 2012 Senate election. The east carried Heitkamp to victory.

It isn't as big here but like another poster said you can see it within the margins. It probably would have looked a bit clearer if Stenehjem wasn't getting a boost from his former home district in Grand Forks.
