Kind of, but also it’s complicated. For example, Chicago is blue blue blue. 500 miles in every direction outside the city is red. 90% of the area of Illinois is red. But Chicago is so much more massive that Illinois votes blue in the end. So what the heck region is Chicago in, and the red part of IL?

I don’t know CA well but I know it’s blue with very deep red pockets.

50 miles out of Chicago will get you to red counties.

Right so what region is that? There aren’t really shared cultural values across 50 miles.
