Just a few facts!
Counties won by Bush: 2,434
Counties won by Gore: 677

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

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

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

And now for the most remarkable finding....

Average Murder per 100,000 residents in counties won by Bush: 0.1
Average Murder per 100,000 residents in counties won by Gore: 13.2

The Federalist's crack staff of researchers found one more interesting fact that might help explain these disparate murder rates.
Gun ownership in the counties won by Mr. Bush is much higher than in the counties won by Mr. Gore!
