Blue State, Red State. Nice State, Dead State

When looking at murder rates we see that 63% of Blue (Democrat) states are in the bottom 20 (bottom being the good part) while 22% of Red (Republic) states are simiarly nonviolent.

On the flip side, and aren't we always, 21% of Blue states are among the 20 highest murder rate states, while 52% of Red states are in that bad grouping.

Draw your own conclusions.
