Subject: Who Are These Gore Voters Anyway? (amazing stat)
The Bush - Gore Electoral Map shows each county won by Gore and each
won by Bush. The map included a few interesting statistics; among
them:
* Counties won by Gore: 677
* Counties won by Bush: 2,434
* Population of counties won by Gore: 127 million
* Population of counties won by Bush: 143 million
* Square miles of country won by Gore: 580,000
* Square miles of country won by Bush: 2,427,000
* States won by Gore: 19
* States won by Bush: 29
Professor Joseph Olson of the Hamline University School of Law in
St. Paul Minnesota has produced another interesting new statistic.
Professor Olson looked up the crime statistics for all of these
counties and came up with this:
* Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties Gore won: 13.2
* Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties Bush won: 2.1
Ah ... those Gore voters. This country needs more of them, right?
