      To add to this, Nevada has basically two cities, Las Vegas and Reno, and a lot of empty space everywhere else. The vibes of Vegas and Nevada’s proximity to California attract socially left people. The lack of income tax attracts financially right people. The sparsely populated areas tend to be right wing like most sparsely populated areas in the US.
