The other thing to be aware of is that pictures of the US "red/blue" or whatever are misleading because we don't have an even spread of population density. Especially in this election, many of the "red" states are comprised of vast distances of sparse population, whereas the blue states tended to be densely populated or had dense population centers.
If someone could create a map in which, each state's map size was adjusted by population before painting it a political color - that would be less deceiving to the eye.
Even then many states painted red OR blue were actually 40/60 or even 49/51 splits - so you can't say State X has one set of values or another.
