You can't cherry pick the bottom half of the list and then redefine red and blue states just because it makes an argument for you. Look at the topmost states. Red states are states that predominantly vote red. Blue states are states that predominantly vote blue. Purple are swing states.
If you look at the entire list, the OP is not a liar.
OP said 3 out of the 20 are Republican. I found 5 of 10. I didn't need to look further to know he was lying.

Fair enough. It turns out there's more than three. But republican states are the underwhelming minority in innovation. It's not surprising though. The states with innovation are those that attract the most highly educated individuals. It has little to do with what candidates they voted for.
Of course not AL and MI. Those two states represent the American sweatshop economy and the idea that higher education is for libruls and east and west coast elitists. Why get an education if you can just hammer nails into plywood instead
Should Iowa put growing corn on the back burner to join the "innovative" states?
Is it better that our clothes be made in foreign nations?
Do we not wish to produce the machines we invent?
Only a liberal could possibly think the answer to our economic decline is to invent more things that can be manufactured in China.
Is it better that our clothes be made in foreign nations?
Yes. There's very few good clothing manufacturers in the US. We never had that market down and haven't been able to get even close to the offshore quality in the last 100 years that we've been trying. Leave the cloth manufacturing up to Italy and the UK.
Personally I think this whole thread is a bunch of bull... If you are happy where you live, just be happy with that. Why can't you just let someone else be happy where they are without disparaging them? Why must one feel the need to be critical of an others way of life? If people are happy with their lifestyle in Louisiana, let them be. If you are happy in NYC well good for you.

Well, that's no way to feel better about yourself and advance your own political agenda.
I'm not surprised that an uneducated person such as yourself (you said it) couldn't make it through such a short article.
Maybe he just realized that an article that is talking about states being innovative and then lists a district as a state is something he needs to bother with.
How good can the article be if they author can't tell the difference between a state and a district.
Urban areas are known to be more innovative, whereas rural areas are not so much. It is well known that red states are often rural, whereas blue states are more urban, so it is not an apples to apples comparison.
