Fascinating question, a natural amenity voting patterns, so here you have the Black Hills which has been growing in population in good part,
有意思的問題，以風景宜人區的投票規律在布萊克丘陵附近人口有顯著上升
because well as most of the reserves in South Dakota is flat in either farmland or grassland
因為南達科他大部分的保護區不是平原農田就是草地
Here you've got mountains and forests, you don't have skiing that may be part of it
而這里有山有水，雖然沒得滑雪也可能是原因之一
And the mountain scenery isn't as spectacular as in other areas, so it's maybe more of a local
而且丘陵地帶的景色也不如以前地方壯觀，所以可能有附近的人移居過去
I don't think it'll get many people from the west coast or the east it's just something that has that kind of draw
我并不認為這里能夠吸引很多西岸或東岸的移民，它只是有一點小吸引力而已
so it's more of a mid-western catchment perhaps
可能就會中西部的集水盆地情況差不多
I'm just speculating here, but it would seem to make sense to me
這只是我的想法，是我的一些判斷
Thanks for the questions and comments

Oh, oh here's one thing I wanted to mention here, this is a great map of change in population for counties from 2000 to 2007
我還要講一講，這幅表現人口變化的地圖，它統計了全國00到07年的數據
Anything in brown here declined and some of these declined precipitously
棕色的區域代表人口下降，有些區域人口急劇下降
I bring this up here because you can see this very conservative Great Plains belt, it's a zone of plummeting population
我要強調這個是因為你看到保守的大平原區域屬于人口急劇下滑區
And you can also see some of these northern New Mexico counties as well declining population
同時你還看到新墨西哥北部的縣人口也在下降
Overall, this is something that hits the Republicans and the Democrats
從總體上來看，這對民主黨共和黨都有影響
Democratic counties like Wayne County Detroit, Cook County, Cuyahoga County where Cleveland is
一些泛藍區如底特律的韋恩縣，庫克縣，克里弗蘭所在的凱霍嘉縣
You can see the Buffalo Area
還有水牛城附近
You can see places like the Youngstown Area Pittsburgh
揚斯敦區域，匹茲堡等等
These industrial towns real population declines, that hurt the Democrats
這些工業城鎮都出現了人口下滑，這對民主黨選舉不利
