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?
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.

Which is what, one voter per county, give or take? There's no way such a data set can be useful in the manner it was used.

Lots of state maps of various indicators show strong border divergences. This is normal and has lots of good policy, media, culture driven causes.

They used a poll of 2000 people to build a model for ~3000 counties. Which may be possible to do well, in principle, but only if done very carefully. I wouldn't take this visualization seriously without a lot of study of methodology. These paragraphs are far from reassuring:pic.twitter.com/hiJbDob8V8
