Edit I've also added marriage rates for comparison. Darker states have higher marriage rates. According to Bowling Green State.

Are they? Or are women in blue states less apt to agree to a conventional marriage?

Poll seems to be based on women and not marriages.

Because conservative women are hot enough to convince straight men to risk it all. Liberal women look like this:

Should be when they first get married…those stats are skewed by 2nd and 3rds.

State population doesn't appear to factor into the map. These are raw numbers, not rates. Those who made the map are fricking stupid, and those who posted it on tigerdroppings are fricking stupider.

Is this a fact? It seems like their marriage rates are generally so abysmal that the ones who do get married would not be getting divorced at much higher rates than other racial groups.

Because that's the color of the divorce rate key on the map.

Off-topic, but marriages between white men and black women are 44% less likely to end in divorce than a marriage between a white man and a white woman. The divorce rate for black man/white woman marriages is astronomical.

Look at marriage rates and see if that helps explain.
