> 75% of the world's tornadoes are in the USA, and 90% are in the reddest of red states

Conclusion:
The U.S. is indeed the global hotspot for tornadoes, but the 90% "red state" figure is not a meteorologically supported statistic. While many high-risk areas are politically red, the shifting nature of tornado alley means they occur across various states.

While many top tornado-reporting states are often considered "red" or reliably Republican in presidential elections (e.g., Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi), others are "swing" or "blue" states (e.g., Illinois, Illinois currently ranked high in 2025/2026 reports).
