Title: Re: How would this hypothetical state vote? Post by: All Along The Watchtower on August 22, 2012, 06:56:57 PM Miles' one would vote R (I think). Could be a Midwestern or Great Plains state, though the evangelical population is rather low, I agree.

Post by: World politics is up Schmitt creek on August 23, 2012, 01:19:19 PM Reminds me of a larger South Carolina, except for the low percentage of blacks. Some kind of cross between South Carolina and Pennsylvania, maybe, although the LDS percentage would probably place it somewhere in the West. Regardless, it's probably consistently and fairly strongly Republican.

Yeah I was thinking of the interior West in general-affluent, educated, white, a high LDS percentage, and lots of defense and military jobs. Title: Re: How would this hypothetical state vote?

Post by: 後援会 on August 28, 2012, 04:54:43 PM Seems like Hawaii - Safe D. Ahah, pacific island voting patterns are very interesting. Hawaii is actually an abberation among the Pacific Islands for not being very religious (due to many many more larger Japanese/Chinese). The Pacific Islands are some of the most religious places on Earth. For example, the Northern Marianna Islands has no Democrats in its lower house and one Democrat in its upper house.

Russian Jews and Orthodox Jews (who I assume pushed McCain over the top) vote very differently from Jews whose families came over in the 1880's. 2. there are quite a few Orthodox Jews who's families (at least part of it) came over in the 1880's. On my father side part of my family might have been here since the 1880's. My maternal Grandmother was born on the Lower East Side in the teens which is very similar to the avg American Jew Orthodox, or atheist. The only difference was she stayed Orthodox and they abandoned Judaism. |
