Geography of United States Elections | Course Introduction

Professor Martin Lewis provides an overview of the Geography of United States Elections.

Starting on October 15, you can follow a timely course being presented by Stanford University. Led by Martin Lewis, this map-intensive course will explore the geography of US elections (both past and present), and challenge the suggestion that we are simply divided into a "Red America" and "Blue America." It's really much more complicated than that.

Offered by Stanford's Continuing Studies program, the course will last five weeks, and include a debrief after the presidential election. Each Wednesday, we will post a new recorded lecture on YouTube.

I disagree, and all the CAPS in the world won't work.

no, rock solid FACTS! Conservative free market economic is superior practically and morally.

Clearly you don't recognize the TRUTH when you see it. Otherwise you would THANK ME for setting you straight. You're welcome.

[tristramshandy3]

Mindless shibboleths and pabulum. I don't waste time on people as partisan and ideological as you. Good luck in life!

the stream of Americans fleeing high-tax, forced-union CA, IL, NJ for low-tax, right to work FL, TX, AZ, NV speaks for itself. Honest and responsible individuals and businesses greatly prefer the freedom of the "red states" to the tyranny of the "blue states".

[tristramshandy3]

Quite a claim. I triple dog dare you to prove it. :)

[tristramshandy3]

Not true. If you source those outlandish claims, I will investigate your links. Until then, I'm calling utter and profuse bullshit.

[herbs814]

why is that leftist hacks are so desperate to ignore common sense and economic reality? honest and responsible individuals and businesses resent leftist government intrusion and vastly prefer the liberty and prosperity that comes from limiting the size and scope of government intrusion.

[herbs814]

no, economic reality. Government taxation, regulation, and support for union thuggery has driven business away. Low tax states, low unionization states, and low regulation states are definitively proven to be superior for job creation, entrepreneurialism, income growth, population growth, and numerous other markers of success.

Partisan gibberish!
