Probably the result of gerrymandering along a highway corridor.

Maybe it's the government bailout every time the river floods. People heavily dependent on the government always vote Democrat.

Check out the demographics of these counties. And the history.

At least in the southern half of the Mississippi, a large portion of the population in the Delta near the river is black. Blacks vote overwhelmingly Democrat. Up in Iowa and Wisconsin, I don't know what the reason is -- farmers who are heavily subsidized by Washington?

I noticed the same thing on the map myself. I am also curious as to why this would be.

Simple - lots of government check collectors. Between the Delta farmers and the "poor oppressed minority" population, lots of loyal DemocRATs.

Because cities were founded upon the river...now those urban areas are filled with Democrat voters...living and dead.

I figured it was the Mississippi Blues.

Southern Mississippi: Mind-numbed robot black voter majority. The so-called "Delta" region, although it is nowhere near the actual delta at the mouthg of the river. Exteremly corrupt politically. Home of the nation's wealthiest and most crooked trial lawyers.
Northern Mississippi: Mind-numbed robot socialist-leaning Northern European white voter majority. The old Progressive Party scandinavian areas. Prairie Home Companion and Garrison Keiller (Did you ever read his ultra-socialist ravings?)

If you will notice the bottom of the line, formed in New Orleans, and extends up into Miss and Ark., this is very rural, mostly, except for NO and Jackson, Miss, and the
population is highly black and as we know they tend to vote democratic, hopely that will soon change.
Look at Atlanta, Ga. a good example also.
