Yea, I don't get this comment. The places with the worst droughts according to the maps are often red areas. While California is overall "blue," it has more conservatives in the central parts of the state than probably the number of people in North Dakota and South Dakota combined. A lot of the more agricultural regions of California are heavily red. Now take a look at the South East, which is a "red" strong hold (maybe Georgia will change soon in upcoming elections). Yet the South East is mostly showing as not drought conditions. So I don't see where political barriers are coming from. Even looking at the state level. Sure, in aggregate, California is "blue." But Utah and Texas are "red." Yet they all have some elevated to serious drought conditions according to the map.
