說(shuō)明該地民主黨得票率較高
Waukesha county

Wealthy suburban county very clearly Republican voting

Not really it's where a lot of the battle has been in the suburban counties
事實(shí)上郊縣并不是候選人的必爭(zhēng)之地
We know that the rural areas tend to go Republican unless there's African-American or Hispanic or American-Indian
因?yàn)槲覀冎擂r(nóng)村地區(qū)總是傾向共和黨人，除非那里居住了非洲裔、西班牙葡萄牙裔或印第安裔的居民

And again, we'll look at maps in the individual counties and see how they shifted over time

Wealthy suburban counties like Westchester, New York very Republican voting, not any more
一些富裕的郊縣如紐約州的韋斯切斯特，過(guò)去共和黨支持率很高，而今已不再

所以在有些縣在兩黨間搖擺，也有一些縣是從一而終的
It's really interesting place to look and see where things maybe going
因此觀察跟蹤不同地區(qū)的情況真的是十分有趣的事情
So are there any questions on this map? yes!
關(guān)于這幅地圖還有問(wèn)題嗎？請(qǐng)說(shuō)！

The guys say that they are not geographers

because I'm sure it took a lot of time to crunch that data and create these maps
因?yàn)槲掖_信他們花了很多時(shí)間去做數(shù)據(jù)處理并生成這些地圖
Yes! the another question is how much is it has to do with Demographic change
請(qǐng)問(wèn)！另一個(gè)問(wèn)題是選舉傾向與人口結(jié)構(gòu)變化有多大關(guān)聯(lián)
As a large baby boom, population gets older
隨著嬰兒潮時(shí)期出生的人逐漸老去
That's an important factor
人口結(jié)構(gòu)的確是一個(gè)重要的因素

some of that has something to do that with concerns over issues like social security
有些人出于對(duì)一些問(wèn)題的考慮如對(duì)社會(huì)安全的考慮
but it's very geographically structured
但這種傾向也有明顯的地理分布
and the same age XXX that would voter one way in one part of the country, the other is gonna vote different way in the different part of the country
例如相同年齡層的人，在某個(gè)地區(qū)傾向于支持A黨，在另一地區(qū)則可能傾向B黨
That's always going to be my focus on how those geographic issues are structured
我們一直將思考問(wèn)題的重心放在投票傾向的地理分布上
