If you have not seen this yet, definitely check it out --
New York Times - Political Bubbles and Hidden Diversity

Pay attention to those voting numbers. It was amazing to see the contrast for east coast areas to the middle of America. Some districts literally had 25 people vote. TOTAL. And I'm guessing those areas with low numbers do not have very diverse populations. Or if they do, they are so spread out, they never interact beyond a "hello".
Stephanie was able to point out to me the Native American reservations in Arizona - they are very bright blue.
Yeah, I just spent 20 minutes zooming in and around this map. The United States is huge and scattered and you can see why we have a hard time getting along. :\
