Red State Blue State – Dot's Up With That?

Last night anybody who watched TV or surfed the web was assaulted with all manner of red/blue maps. There were states, counties, cities, dots, and graphs. Your green channel of the RGB system on your TV or LCD could have gone completely out and you wouldn’t have missed a thing.

Thanks to the election, we are now all red/blue color sensitized. So it seemed the perfect time to introduce this map.

I’ll have more on this later, but behind one of those dots lies a very interesting story.

Now the aliens are worried that they’re going to lose the bet and Algore will be so SMUG.
Am I right?

No, the unique dot is the spaceport named “To Serve Anthony.” He’ll have more to say about the special service if he returns.

Is there any hope of getting this explained to we lesser lights? I am really intrigued by this puzzle.

I lived in California once and tried one of those purple dots. It was, um, interesting.

From the BBC: “Rainfall autism theory suggested”
Increased rainfall, or something linked to it, may be connected to the development of autism, scientists say.
The theory is based on child health and weather records from three US states, but has been given an icy reception by UK experts.
