Guest Recombo Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 Here are the election results by county of the 2004 election. This map is copyright 2004 of Robert J. Vanderbei. www.princeton.edu. The red shades are republican voters, the blue are democratic. General consensus here is that the more densely populated areas vote democratic, while rural areas vote republican. The raised areas illustrate the approximate population density. The higher the mountain, the more populated the region.
Yupa Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 Never get tired of the undeniable truth. Cool people (whether they be smart or artistic or just plain cool) live in urban areas. Therefore most urban areas vote for the better candidate. ie. Republicans = the millions of idiots reproducing freely in the bull!@#$%^&* meaningless states of the midwest.
Dr Brain Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 Here's a better one. Breakdown by who won each county.
A Soldier Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 Nice map. I suppose the black areas mean there were no voters in the county?
Yupa Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 lol, I'd guess incomplete data (or not even checked) ...or 100% voted Republican and they're scheduled for deletion
A Soldier Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 haha umm yeah, that'd make more sense o.O

So if all the cool people are in the big cities, I'm !@#$%^&*uming that the real hotties live on the farm! haha (no Akai, I'm not talking about livestock here!! )
Vile Requiem Posted December 4, 2004 Report Posted December 4, 2004 All that map really proves is the Electoral College = Stupid. I believe in 1 person, 1 vote. Then again, I believe the rules should be modified so at the very least the Green and Libertarian parties recieve federal election funding (one party to keep the dems/repubs honest respectively) and that they get a spot at the debates. Sadly, this will never happen and thus this system passes for a way to elect someone, and we wind up as a "purple nation".
Guest Recombo Posted December 4, 2004 Report Posted December 4, 2004 give it a few years - maybe it will be 'brown nation'.
Dav Posted December 5, 2004 Report Posted December 5, 2004 i think popular vote should be the way things are decided, that way we wouldnt get a repeat of 2000. I also disagree with the two party system, a multiple party system is far better as more peole can vote according tio their views. Although it wont make too much diffrence to the main parties as most will vote for them anyway, it does show the presidant what people are voting for so he/she can act upon it.
MonteZuma Posted December 5, 2004 Report Posted December 5, 2004 If you want a multi-party system, proportional representation is the way to go... http://www.fairvote.org/pr/q_and_a.htm
Ancient Power Posted December 6, 2004 Report Posted December 6, 2004 those images are actually scaring the -*BAD WORD*- outta me, it is ridiculous as to how insanely stupid people in the US are. Its pretty much been proven that smart people vote democrat and dumb!@#$%^&* farmers vote bush.
Zetirix Posted December 6, 2004 Report Posted December 6, 2004 The electorial college up until Nixon I think, was divided evenly between the votes in a state... after that, the main two parties decided that whomever got the majority of votes in a state won all of the electorial votes... been screwed up ever since. Just a little history lesson for you folks. - Z
Dr Brain Posted December 6, 2004 Report Posted December 6, 2004 Actually, as I recall from my research into the electoral college, votes have never been split in any state. A few states have provisions for splitting their votes, but they have never been used. I think Maine is one of them, but I don't recall the others. I think VA might be one, but I could be quite wrong about it.

Its pretty much been proven that smart people vote democrat and dumb!@#$%^&* farmers vote bush.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok you voted Kerry. Profoundly enough, all those 'dumb!@#$%^&*' farmers provide the food for Americans and many other nations, provide leading exports to other nations, and do it at a cost which is substantial to physical brutality all so 'smart' city folks can eat or run to their suburbian grocery stores after a 'hard day' at the office. Good to see that the 'smart' city folk have such a comprehensive understanding.

Good to see that the 'smart' city folk have such a comprehensive understanding. Like farmers, do you? They're all going to be replaced by automated farm systems soon anyways. Anyways, providing a necessary service != intelligence.
Dav Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 everyone has their place in sociaty, those "dumb farmers" work to produce the food you eat because "city folk" cant or wont. These people are smart, they use that to their advantage because less people making it means more money for them. They are just as important in terma of voting as anyone else.
Dr Brain Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Last time I checked, the smartest person on the planet was a Republican. Most democrats I know are ivory tower know-everything-about-nothings. Book smart, yah, but they couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag.
Yupa Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Last time I checked, the smartest person on the planet was a Republican.That is one of the dumbest things I have ever read in my entire life.
MonteZuma Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Who is the smartest person on the planet? Anyway.....Why do rural folk support republicans/right wing politics? It seems to be a worldwide phenomenon. Isolation? Self-reliance? Xenophobia? All of the above or something else?
Dr.Worthless Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Conversly, why do Urban populations tend to support a more liberal candidate? Its more than amusing that people base intelligence off of who they voted for. Give yourself a pat on the back "Ancient Power" you're smart because you voted for kerry! To bad he lost. Everyone else is dumb because they didn't vote for who you wanted to win.
Vile Requiem Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 Kerry ran like he didn't want to win and still got 48% Gotta tell you something Ah well, nobody can blame the next 4 years on Clinton, only Bush and his majority in all branches of govt However, Demos seem to be getting their act together a bit with the new Senate Minority Leader Reid, and the probable new DNC chair Dean. There won't be another Kerry next time against Jeb methinks.
