What kind of voters tend to cluster around the U.S coasts and great lakes?

* Democrats: The coasts and Great Lakes regions of the United States are generally more liberal than the rest of the country, and this is reflected in the voting patterns of these regions. In the 2016 presidential election, for example, Hillary Clinton won every coastal state and all but one Great Lakes state (Michigan).

* Whites: The coasts and Great Lakes regions of the United States are also home to a higher percentage of white people than the rest of the country. This is due in part to the fact that these regions were settled by Europeans earlier than other parts of the country.

* Urban residents: The coasts and Great Lakes regions of the United States are also more urban than the rest of the country. This is because these regions are home to some of the largest cities in the United States, such as New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
