- vaidhy 4y agoIt is interesting that so many states are tagged blue when I would have tagged them red or purple at most. According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_state_legislatures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_state_le...) there are 19 democratic states and 28 republican states. Your source almost splits the country into two halves which is misleading.
- kolanos 4y agoI believe "red state" and "blue state" is commonly referring to which party's candidate won the state in the last presidential election.
