What the heck, Kansas?

Pornhub reports that blue states averaged 137 page views per capita over the twelve month period they analyzed, while red states average 121. It's a sufficiently strong association that looking at Pornhub usage alone correctly predicts the outcome in 9 out 12 swing states in the 2012 election.

The Washington Post's Chris Ingraham helpfully made a scatterplot showing each state's Pornhub consumption rate against the vote share Barack Obama got in 2012:

Overall, the trend line suggests that page views rise with support for Obama. But far and away the biggest Pornhub fan among the states was Kansas, with 194 page views per capita over twelve months. That's over 60 percent greater than the red state average, and nearly 17 percent greater than the biggest Pornhub superfan among the blue states (Nevada, 166 page views per capita).
