Shame on you.  This is sophomoric statistical manipulation.  Nothing of significance can be concluded by examining so-called "conservative" (like the Nevada of gambling & prostitution?) or "liberal" states.  If instead, you look at counties instead of states, you see that either category of state consists of a mixture of so-called "conservative" or "liberal" counties, generally tracking rural, suburban & urban areas.
The only interesting conclusion that can be derived is by comparing divorce rate for PEOPLE who are conservative or liberal.
