As a born and bred West Michigander, I want so bad to BELIEVE this!!
Lest you think Michigan is all blue, back in the biggest election blowout in history, in 1964, Johnson beat Goldwater 60%-40% nationally, but in Ottawa County it was 60-40 Goldwater. And politically, the place hasn’t changed much.
Sorry, but all due respect to your Michigan nostalgia, 1964 was not the biggest election blowout in history. 1972 was.
