Republican states: Of the 10 states with consistently the best record, all but one are solidly Republican states.
Democratic states: Of the 10 states that show up most frequently at the bottom of the list, nine are solid Democratic states.

@DudeistPriest Yes, I see a failure in the chart you supplied to actually suggest Democrat causation. A bad track record could be attributable to many other things. We might also consider why only one decade was considered- and why a specific ten years was chosen. Perhaps it was designed to present the best face: a misleading form of propaganda.
