matvail2002 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Before choosing a state for an gubernatorial or senatorial election, I would like to know some information: -Which state(s) is the most polarized between the cities and rural areas? -Which state(s) has a substantial difference between gobernatorial, presidential and senatorial elections by elections? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Virginia is pretty polarized between Appalachia and the DC suburbs. The Governor's race in Oklahoma is a mile away from any federal race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matvail2002 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 For Virginia, how is Richmond and Norfolk electorally as there are not DC Suburbs and nor in the Appalachia? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcallega Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I wouldn't do Virginia. Too many small counties and cities. However the South is generally a good location for big federal vs. state difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilight Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 -Which state(s) is the most polarized between the cities and rural areas? In Georgia, it's Atlanta on one side and everyplace else on the other. That's why we had the County Unit System back in the day, so that rural lawmakers could limit the influence of the city. That, in turn, is why we have so many counties (159 at last count). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
