Why is Vermont the most liberal state if it's also the most rural? This video gets to the bottom of that maple-syrupy mystery.
The paradox defies a key trend in American politics: rural states are usually conservative. The answer lies in who has moved to the Green Mountain State over the years: generally liberals from Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. This process was fueled by tourism ads promoting Vermont as an idyllic and natural escape.
Today, Vermont is home to men like Bernie Sanders, Howard Dean, and Ben & Jerry. But those guys moved to the state from NYC, demonstrating the influence flatlanders have had on Vermont.
