They can say whatever they want about the southernmost part being the red part. Before these damn flatlanders started moving in, we didn’t have this problem. I don’t buy it.
The flatlanders have been moving in since the late forties.
The premise is not true. If you look up the famous red-blue map (by counties or precincts) and compare the 2000 Presidential election results to the 2004 results, you’ll see blue moving in on the Vermont border, not the Massachusetts border.
