I called Mississippi and Louisiana the shittiest states in the union on my tumblr (and everywhere else), so I thought I should back it up with some research.
I’ve been collecting these graphs online for some time. For clarity, I have deleted everything except the physical map. This means that you don’t know exactly what each colour means in each state, but you can still spot the trend; the trend moves outwards from Mississippi and Louisiana to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts.
I had lots more, but tumblr limits photoset uploads to ten. I might upload the others some other time. If you have any questions, or you want the originals (with all the text and legends and sources included), message me.

cool is dead.
baby don’t you cry
it was time for cool to die
so bury it – let go of yesterday
and don’t be afraid
you ain’t gonna lose, no way
just listen to the music
