In the beautiful 16-point HRC landslide, I'm curious as to why Nate believes South Dakota would go blue/Atlas red and North Dakota wouldn't? Aren't the states almost exactly mirror images of one another?

South Dakota's sole purpose is to make maps ugly.

This. Also, I don't think they're quit mirror images of each other given how the Democratic primaries have turned out multiple times.

I was mostly referring to general election results, but in terms of the primaries, worth noting that South Dakota had a primary both times and North Dakota had a caucus. They're practically the same in terms of population and demographics. I know North Dakota is more religious than South Dakota, maybe that's why, or do the Natives turn out higher in South Dakota?

He says in the article that North Dakota has moved a bit to the right after the oil boom.

Thanks. I didn't read the article, just had time to glance at the maps before work picked up! Lesson learned: read the article. Smiley
