Red vs. Blue Agurbs®

Analyzing the data on this past election from our 397 agurbs® showed some significant differences from the national data. President Bush won 338 agurbs®, John Kerry 58 and Waldo County, Maine had a tie. In these agurbs 6,858,488 votes were cast with President Bush winning 61% of the vote compared to 51% on a national basis.

The largest differences in votes were in Madison, ID where President Bush won 92% of the vote and Taos, NM where John Kerry won 74% of the vote. Colorado and New Mexico each had 7 agurbs that voted for Kerry, the most of any state.

If the agurbs® determined the electoral vote Bush would have won in a landslide with 40 states, Kerry 5 (ME, NH, VT, NM and CA), and 5 states which didn’t have any agurbs®.

During the campaign one of the candidates consistently talked of two Americas. Perhaps there are two Americas: The Agurbs® and the big cities.
