Red state
From Conservapedia
In the United States, a red state is a state in which a simple majority has voted for the Republican candidate in a presidential election. The term comes from the news networks, which in the 2000 presidential election decided to agree on one color to represent the Republicans and one for the Democrats in the states the parties won.
Voters in red states are considered generally more conservative as a whole than voters in other states. Red states are generally noted for a commitment to conservative Christian morality, pro-life, family values and a desire to reduce the tax burden. Red states are generally in the southern and Midwestern United States.
