WOAH. I knew that Provo was super-Mormon-conservative, but I had no idea it was THAT far right. That's just freaky.

I mean, 90-10... that's just f[Inks]ing insane.

I had to check the calculations twice on that one because even I didn't believe it was possible. Just imagine being a Democrat in that area...

As low as 64.7? Damn suburbians...

That was also quite a surprise to me. I expected the New York metro to be considerably more Democratic, yet it's essentially equal to the Philly metro.
