  1. Why is Louisiana red? Is it off the charts or something?

  2. From the report:

    We received a total of 280 responses. Unfortunately, in some states (Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Massachusetts, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and South Dakota) only a small number of reporters responded to our survey. Hence while interpreting the results from these states we should be cautious.

    Surprisingly enough, we received no responses from Louisiana, which is historically one of the more corrupt states in America.
