Changes

In the [[United States]], a '''red state''' is a state in which a simple majority has voted for the [[Republican Party|Republican]] candidate in a presidential [[election]].  The term comes from the news networks, which in the 2000 presidential election decided to agree on one colour to represent the Republicans and one for the Democrats in the states the parties won. Prior to the year 2000, the term "Red State" or "Blue State" would have made no sense, but has since been used to divide the nation.

Voters in red states are considered generally more [[conservative]] as a whole than voters in other states. Red states are generally noted for a commitment to conservative [[Christian]] morality, [[abortion|pro-life]], family values, and a desire to reduce the [[tax]] burden.  Red states are generally in the southern and midwestern [[United States]].
