I couldn't get the same measurement
我找不到加州家庭收入的數據
but this was the data that I was able to easily find
這個人均收入的數據比較容易找

all voting quite clearly for George Bush, So again

A good correlation here between the wealthier areas voting for the Democratic candidate

and poor areas voting for the Republicans

So just give you a idea where these counties are if you don't know it

It's paradoxical though
但也有與這個規律相悖的情況出現
Oh, it's paradoxical for a couple of reasons
之所以發生這種矛盾有好幾個原因
one is if we look at a qunti-centrally red state and a relatively poor state

What do we see?

阿拉巴馬就是個明顯的例子
We see, back to median household income, percent voting for Bush

which counts as one of the countries top 100 at least wealthy county

I'm not sure if it makes the top 50

This is Huntsville, big NASA installation, large number of engineers
亨茨維爾市位于該縣，它是巨大的NASA航空器集裝地，大量工程師云集于此
one of the largest in the country

So it's a little bit closer but it's still voting for Bush

it's also more than 50% African-American
而且這些地區還有50%的非洲裔美國人
and there's real close correlation here
而種族與投票傾向有著密切的關系
And I'll show you maps later on, between race, income and voting
稍后會給你們看一些地圖來表現人種和收入與選民投票間的關系
With white population in Alabama being overwhelmingly Republican
阿拉巴馬的白人人口眾多使它成為一個極度傾向于共和黨的州
So actually it's income comes in here
收入的確對選民的投票傾向有影響
but racial has more something to do with it
但人種的影響則更為重大
