This book explains how and why the American electoral map has become deeply and persistently divided into red states and blue states and explores the important consequences of this trend for candidate strategy, party competition, political polarization, and the functioning of American government.
1. A nation votes, Ohio decides; 2. Solid states: the regional bases of the American parties; 3. The geographic roots of party strength and cohesion; 4. Mapping the cultural battlefield: how social issues fuel the regional divide; 5. Regional polarization and partisan change in the US congress; 6. Rural red, big-city blue, and the pivotal purple midwest; 7. A locked-up nation.
