85. I live in the same state you do

Me and you + 2,827,833 others don't want it that way.

Yes, apparently 4,519,262 do want it that way. That means we have to switch 845,714 of these people to our side to "flip" Texas.

The population of Texas is more than 22,118,509. (2003 estimate from the Census bureau). Extrapolating to 2004, I get 22,541,000.

So that means Texas is labelled "red" due to the decisions of 3.75% of the population of our state (0.846 million divided by 22.541 million).

3.75%!

Perhaps we're not as "red" as everyone thinks.
