Finally those with an undergraudation are not the most educated segment of the society.
Of course not, but those (including me) with an undergraduate education are the most educated large segment. A very small percentage of people have a postgraduate education.
You've been implying that uneducated people are more likely to vote Republican than Democrat.
My point has been that the most educated and least educated are both more likely to vote Democrat, while those in the middle are more likely to vote Republican.

Not in terms of the voter pool. The voter pool is skewed towards the top in terms of education so basically while only about 30% of the population has a college degree of any sort they make up 40-45% of voters. Of those about 26-27 percent of those just have undergraduate or Associates degrees, and 16-18% have some graduate training.

I have not implied anything of the sort. I have simply said those with the most education tend to be the most reliable democrats because they are. If I remember correctly you said Lmao in response to my post that those with advanced degrees are the most reliable democratic voters, and claimed HS drop outs were, which is wrong as you can clearly see based on your own links. Simply put all I have said this entire time is that based on education those with the most of it are also the most reliably democratic.

You have to be kidding. How the hell can you compare Oklahoma to Texas. No one in Dallas drives to OK just because. OK folks come to Dallas for excitement. How are going to compare a state with cities like Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Austin with OK? The culture and entertainment scene in Houston alone blows the ENTIRE state of OK off the face of the map. Stop hating.
But who knows how many Texans drive to Oklahoma to gamble in the casinos? One of them is conveniently located just off I-35 and across the southern Oklahoma border.

In 2010, 57% of those with no high school voted Democratic while only 53% of those with a postgraduate education did.
Again those without high school degrees are a very tiny portion of the electorate and again they fluctuate wildly (probably in part due to the small sample) As in 2004 they broke 50%-50%. Compare that with the far large and more consistent population with a post graduate education that is always been around 55-45 Democratic give or take a bit based on the mood of the country and always has a good turnout and it is clear what the most reliable group is. In fact those with post graduate educations are more reliable then any republican leaning education group.

At exit 1 actually. LOL
There's also one on US Highway 75 very close to the border.

I understand what you're saying.
As long as we can both agree that those in the middle education wise are most likely to vote Republican, let's just leave it at that.
