Minnesota is cold and full if loons, frick that place. McCain is weak sauce as a leader hence why Arizona is mostly blue. California is amazing, just a little push and all the nuts are in the ocean.

That is accurate for all but Louisiana. Two of our district will have run-offs, meaning they will likely switch from blue to red.

There's going to be a runoff - the current rep is Republican and the next rep is going to be a different Republican, but the 5th map is way wrong.

I'm tracking now - silly though - but if it is by individual running first on November 4th - I guess that's one way to do it.

The district, though, is currently red - more votes for Republicans were cast on November 4th, and the district will be red after the runoff. Just sayin'...(Duck Dynasty vote got split, y'all).

The areas that stand out are pretty obvious why if you think about it.

LA/MS-black majority in those areas (delta and river parishes)
AZ/NM-natives
TX(south)-Hispanics
New England areas-fricking loons
CA coast-do I need to even go there

Most other areas except Fl/GA and MN are urban areas (which btw, have precincts that vote 100% dem)

May be a few anomalies in there but this pretty much explains it.
