Red and Blue Counties

Brad Delong links to a map by Robert Vanderbei showing "red and blue" counties. This is much more interesting than the "red and blue" state maps, and paints a more complex picture: "Purple Haze: The Real Vote Map"

Reviewing the county level data shows that the country is less sharply divided along "NE-West Coast" and "South-Plains" lines than the state maps suggest.
