Purple USA

The notion that the USA divides into red and blue states, according to political choices, over-simplifies the situation. The voting instead tends to follow population density and distribution: blue in the metro regions, red in the rural areas, and a whole lot of purple in moderately populated places.

A colleague of mine at Princeton has prepared 3 fascinating maps that demonstrate these political facts of life. In this Thanksgiving week, they suggest that we may not be as severely divided as the popular media claim.

Or so we may hope.
