“In general, the most politically intolerant Americans, according to the analysis, tend to be whiter, more highly educated, older, more urban.”https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2019/03/us-counties-vary-their-degree-partisan-prejudice/583072/ …
It's suspicious that state borders are so visible. Why would there be a big difference between a rural county in South Carolina and the adjacent one across the border in North Carolina?

Might people's political views be influenced by their state identity: "I'm a proud

not sure about the us but in europe you have completely different structures (politics, media, school, sports clubs, ad targeting, …) whether you are on the one or the other side of a border exposes/intertwines you to a quite different environment

Or to put it another way, if the variation across state borders isn't due to bad data (which I suspect), it's the most interesting thing on that graph.

The map is based on a survey of 2k people, then projected onto the US voter file, so it is likely amplifying county and state-level artifacts of the voter file.

South Carolina was the core of slavery, it was no accident that they fired the first shot of the civil war, and they haven't gotten much better.
