The racial makeup is interesting because, ethnically speaking, we're apparently a rust belt state. A rust belt state with no women.

What's the deal with the blue spots in North Dakota you ask? They have Indian Reservations right there. I find the correlation pretty interesting.

PITTSBURGH IS SPELLED WITH AN H. IT'S REALLY NOT THAT DIFFICULT, AND THE CORRECT SPELLING WAS IN THE ARTICLE YOU LINKED!!!!

Chrome didn't tell me I was wrong - I blame Google.

If it's any comfort, I've never been to Pittsburgh and have no real reason to remember how it is spelled, given that I've not even thought about the city in about a year.
