A different way to look at it:

 

Most "Republican" candy: Peanut Butter M&M's

Most "Democrat" candy: Life Saver Gummies

Most Moderate candy: Butterfinger

Highest voter turnout candy: Ghiradelli

Lowest voter turnout candy: M&M Mini's

Most popular candy: Reese's

 

The reddit post I got the chart from: LINK

 

Interesting comment there that might be worth considering:

 

"This is awesome but I think it says more about candy choices as you become older. Older people generally prefer dark chocolate and often skew more republican and are more likely to vote."
