Most, maybe all, of the so-called red states have population mixes that are very different from blue states, particularly NE blue states. In terms of percentages of the total population, red states have larger numbers of blacks, Hispanics and also Native-Americans. States like TX, AZ, OK, NV, UT, NM have significant enough Native-American populations to impact the overall stats of each state. Those states closest to the border are impacted by their Hispanic populations....and so on. The main point to be made is that it's pretty meaningless and pointless to look at the statistics of an entire state without looking at the subsets of the population, too.
