On the other hand, "Parasite Prevalence Predicts Authoritarianism" [1]. Which wouldn't necessarily swing the election obviously one way or the other (left or right, Democrat or Republican -- although my gut tells me it would swing things to the right to some degree), but could definitely be a confounding factor to the above theory.

That's a bit of a stretch...there are probably dozens of other obvious correlations in places where authoritarianism pops up, because authoritarianism is much more likely to spring up where people are poor and uneducated...
