Most red states are run like plantations. The legislatures have been totally bought by either the oil companies, big agriculture, mining, or like in Mississippi, forestry. Where this happens, most of the money that gets extracted leaves the state. The companies control the economy, the wages, and the taxes. The people don't have much of a say. Most of them don't bother to vote.
