My girlfriend (who is from Alabama) conjectures that the combined effects of: 1) de facto geographic racial segregation, 2) 25% of Alabama voters being African American 3) 91% of African American Alabamans voting for Kerry could explain the county map in Alabama. This assessment sounds quite reasonable to me, but since I am too lazy to get all the statistics, will remain a hypothesis.
