"Purple" refers to the tradition of classifying states as "[[Red state|Red]]" or "[[Blue state|Blue]]", responding to an [[Electoral College]] vote of [[Republican Party|Republican]] and [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] presidential candidate, respectively. In this scheme, very close states are colored purple until the final vote tally is finished. In reality, most states are "purple" if viewed on a per-county basis. <ref>[http://www.princeton.edu/~rvdb/JAVA/election2004/ Purple states of America] - a county by county breakdown of presidential elections since 1960.</ref>
