States here are still governed by a majority vote of its citizens in a number of issues. This is why states that tend to attract "liberals" and have a liberal majority will tend to prohibit indiviual freedoms such as the right to carry or in some cases, even own a firearm. These facts have tended to polarize the US over time, where a state's political climate is a serious consideration when deciding whether to take up residence there. I know it is for me.
