Koch States are where the Koch brothers have essentially taken over the state Republican Party. They can be broken down into the "oil-rich" states, and the others. The Koch brothers made their vast fortune mostly from oil refineries. Koch owns substantial pipelines that are affected by the property tax and environmental policies of the states that the pipelines cross.
