Question - a bit out there

Pardon my ignorance but what does this mean? South Carolina is a left-leaning state politically? Red is generally used to refer to the left over here.

Thanks.

It's just the opposite here in the U.S. Blue states = liberal/left/Democrat. Red states = conservative/right/Republican.

Thanks indysteel. Now I get it.
