That is shockingly consistent from state to state, actually.
And a little misleading.
The 0% - 2.7% shade is misrepresenting, as it looks like the lowest is 1.7%, the next is 2.6% And the 4.0% - 10.0% shade is also misrepresenting, as the only state over 5% is Hawaii- 5.1%

Also, as an added analysis - I imagine the overall US map showing conservative counties pretty well lines up with the "No One Lives Here" map above.
The map I posted should have really gone by counties with the highest absolute number of conservatives/liberals instead of the ratio. Then you would have at least some significant suburbs showing up on the map.

Speak up if you've heard of any of the towns colored in red:
Seems accurate. I went to jr. high in Takoma Park, Maryland and I can confirm it's about as liberal as you can get in the suburbs. Alexandria, Virginia is overrun with overpaid, 20-something federal employees so it's going to be pretty liberal as well.

How about the Vatican? I'm sure that accurate self reporting would be an issue, buy if there's anything to this gay mafia business, it must be higher than average.
Don't most of those european countries just use the EU passport?
It's not a single passport - my UK passport has the little EU sign, but is still all "in the name of Her Majesty", etc. And each EU country will have slightly different agreements with other countries re: visas 'n such.

A lot of European countries do issue a national ID card, which is a separate thing (and several countries, including the UK - which has always been a bit iffy on the whole EU thing - have opted out of that).
