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 color to represent the Republicans and one for the Democrats in the states the parties won.  In many countries, including Canada and the United Kingdom, red is the color of liberals and blue is the color of conservatives, but liberals in the United States did not want to be red so they would not be associated with [[communism]].
