Interesting info from the Neal Boortz web site:

WHO ARE THESE GORE VOTERS ANYWAY?

On the Thursday following the election I posted a map of the United States which showed every county won by Gore and each one Bush carried. If you forget what that map looked like, here’s your link. [ boortz.com ]

That map included a few interesting statistics; among them:

Counties won by Gore: 677
Counties won by Bush: 2,434

Population of counties won by Gore: 127 million
Population of counties won by Bush: 143 million

Square miles of country won by Gore: 580,000
Square miles of country won by Bush: 2,427,000

States won by Gore: 19
States won by Bush: 29

Now Professor Joseph Olson of the Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul Minnesota has produced another interesting new statistic. Professor Olson looked up the crime statistics for all of these counties and came up with this:

Average Murder per 100,000 residents in counties won by Gore: 13.2
Average Murder per 100,000 residents in counties won by Bush: 2.1


Ah … those Gore voters. This country needs more of them, right?
