Obama’s three best states (percentage of vote) were:
Hawaii (71.8%)
Vermont (66.8%)
Rhode Island (63.1%)
Seven other states and the District of Columbia gave Obama more than 60% of their vote. They were:
D.C. (92.9%)
New York (62.1%)
Massachusetts (62.0%)
Illinois (61.7%)
Delaware (61.3%)
California (61.1%)
Maryland (60.9%)
Connecticut (60.2%)
Of the 15 states with the most people, all but Texas (#2) and Georgia (#9) went for Obama. Interestingly enough, the other 13 most populous states have exactly half of all electoral votes.
Gotta love Texas. It’s at times like this I wish they’d change the electoral college system. It’s really frustrating that my vote was nullified by the Republican voters in the rest of the state.
