Most polarized states

« on: July 30, 2016, 09:53:40 PM »

I've seen a few posts on this section of the forum about splitting the Dakotas into East and West Dakota and splitting Washington and Oregon into eastern and western states....Following this thread, I would be very interested to see if there are any other states with such stark geographic polarization. What do you all think?

Eastern and western Mississippi are pretty different.

79% difference in support for Romney between King and Starr counties in Texas.

If limited to counties with over 100,000 votes, it was 51% between Montgomery and Hidalgo.

Wisconsin is kinda unique for being very polarized while also being overwhelmingly white.

Eastern and western Mississippi are pretty different.

Entirely due to race. And Mississippi whites and Mississippi blacks aren't as different as they think they are, despite their voting habits.
