    Assuming a high conversion rate for registered Republicans into republican votes, it's probably A)

    While this is interesting information, please don't forget that correlation does not by itself prove causation. And a low cost of living is not as valuable as it might seem if it is linked with low wage rates. Affordability is a more useful stat.
