Checking In With American Voters
Foursquare compiled data on check-ins over
the past year to identify the red and blue
states (based on the 2008 presidential
election) with the most check-ins at
certain venues. Out of the red states, Texas
happened to have the most check-ins at gay
bars — and Florida was the blue state with
the most fast-food check-ins. Tap the icons
below to see how these and other check-ins
line up with election issues.
