The high population in NYC usually makes Democratic victories a certainty, resulting in New York’s “blue state” label in the media. That doesn’t mean that the state at large supports Democrats. That seems evident on this map.

Places like Colorado, and Nevada, if my memory serves, have oddly mixed demographics due to many transplanted residents.

I’m sure that there are many other factors, such as proximity to other Mac users (people buy the same things their friends have), and economic factors (Macs aren’t cheap).

The big cluster of Apple users in the center of the country (Kansas and others) are all red states. And there are few users at the Great Lakes, all blue states.
