A '''red state''' is a state whose voters are generally [[conservative]] and who cast votes for [[George W. Bush]] in the 2000 and 2004 elections. Red states are noted for a commitment to morality in voting, and a rejection of [[abortion]]. Red states are generally found in the [[south]] and [[midwest]] [[United States]].
They are known as "red states" because, during elections, major news networks color them red when it is confirmed that they have voted for a [[Republican]] president.
