In United States politics, a purple state is a state equally balanced between Republicans (normally symbolized by red) and Democrats (normally symbolized as blue)(See red states and blue states).

    Hey Paul thanks for commenting..

    in the US the color that represents the Republic Party is Red also represented by an Elephant
    and the Democratic color is blue ..also represented by a Donkey
    When a state 50/50 republican and democratic they call it a purple state (red and blue make purple) .. I thought it would be funny instead of refering to it as a mix of colors .. they should mix the animals and call it a donkeyphant or an elekey .. that started out as my inspiration .. but end up like this
