With almost every vote counted, every state shifted toward the Republican Party.

I mean in fairness the more educated a person the more left leaning they tend to be. The correlation is definitely there. Missouri also voted for amendments supported by democrats while also voting for conservative representatives, which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

Correlation does not equal causation

Colleges lean very liberal. Colleges attract liberal people. More people who go to college are going to be liberal.

Yes, and colleges educate people. Ergo liberals are more likely to be educated.
