Two political geographical outliers

[ottermax]

These types of maps are always difficult to discern real trends or patterns from as they often rely on data with high margins of error such as exit polls, especially for subgroups like age.

If there's a trend only happening in one state but not in any others its probably an anomaly rather than a trend.

For example there's a plausible explanation for Indiana having a more conservative under-30 vote due to brain drain and the exodus of 20somethings to bigger, more promising cities like Chicago, BUT if this was true we would expect similar trends in Kentucky, Missouri, Iowa, etc. where there are also few big cities to draw in young people.
