Missouri didn't have a red shift but it didn't have as much of a blue shift as some of its neighboring states
密蘇里沒有向紅營偏轉 不過也沒像他周邊的州那樣大幅度地向藍營靠攏
we can see very clearly the black zone and the best way to do is take an individual county like Mississippi
我們看到明顯的黑人聚居帶 我們最好仔細研究單個州的縣級選情 這是密西西比的地圖
so here we have the African American percent
左邊顯示的是黑人居民的比例
you can see the dark green from 64-86%
深綠色表示黑人率為64-86%
this is the area known as the inland delta of Mississippi
這片地區就是人們平時說的密西西比內陸三角洲
that's where the delta blues comes out
他們是三角洲最中堅的民主黨支持者
that's not from southern Louisiana, that's from the inland delta up here
大部分藍營支持者并不在南路易安娜 而是在內陸三角洲地區
where's a major plantation zone
這里是主要的種植園經濟區
very poor, very heavily African American
很貧困 聚居了大量黑人
and just compare the two maps
對比兩幅地圖你會發現
and their correlation is almost perfect
黑人聚居率和民主黨支持率幾乎完全匹配
the darker green here the more blue it's going to be there
綠色越深的地區（黑人多） 藍色也越深（民主黨支持率高）
and you can just go county by county not just whether or not they voted Democratic or Republican but by what extent
通過逐個縣的觀察 你會發現不僅支持民主黨或共和黨與黑人有關 就連支持程度也相關
so you have here a very substantial African American population that turned out very heavily much more than most years
可見這個地區黑人真的非常多 而且今年以比以往更高地支持率
and voted again well over 90% for Barack Obama
投選了民主黨候選人 奧巴馬
whereas the white population in Mississippi still very Republican voting
而密西西比的白人區仍然非常青睞共和黨
so you can just see that really nice correlation
所以可見人種與選情關系也非常密切
Louisiana, Alabama, South Carolina
路易安娜 阿拉巴馬和南卡
those states we see where we see the racial difference most clearly reflected in the voting patterns of those states
在這些州聚居著不同人種的地區明顯地表現出了不同的選情
