Thanks for the ping!
Charles country has trended even worse than Howard. DOLE won it. Since then it’s been going south. Gore Kerry and Osama won it. 65% Obama in 2012, in a county that Dole won.
1988 was actually the last time Howard county voted for a Republican President, it also went for Ehrlich in 2002 but not since.

I wonder if the virus will continue to spread.
The explanation for Charles County’s sudden swing towards the Democrats is quite simple: blacks from the DC area are moving further out into the suburbs. past PG County into Charles. The change in Charles County has been so drastic that when I first wrote back in 2005 about creating a State of New Columbia (that combined DC with its heavily Dem suburbs in MD and VA) I kept Charles County in MD because it wasn’t Democratic enough.
California was solid republican voting before the 1986 amnesty. So was Oregon. The rest of the country will go the same way with this amnesty.
Yeah, the change is stark. In 2000, almost 70% of Charles County’s population was White. In 2010, it plummeted to 50% (the Black population went from 26% to 41%). Before the decade is out, it will be Black majority. What’s so sad is that they flee out of DC or PG County and carry the SAME voting habits that made those places hellholes. This contrasts with decades ago when White urbanites would discard their Democrat habits moving to the suburbs (although many of those folks have since been going in the wrong direction politically in more recent years).

From Joanna, President NY ICE (New Yorkers for Immigration Control and Enforcement):
NY ICE members are educated in communicating with hard facts (and their sources, when possible) at rallies. We find that facts alone are often hard for the opposition to dispute. They are also useful when speaking with passersby who want to know more. HOWEVER, since the opposition knows the facts are on our side, they often engage in vulgarity, cursing, and the display of the middle finger. ;We are NEVER to engage in the same vulgar behavior, and must hold ourselves to a higher standard, which the Press will take note of. If communicating with hard facts does NOT work, a Member can walk away, seek another Member, or annihilate the oppositions credibility without sinking to vulgarity.
I see that here in Howard county(new neighbor Blacks) , but I also noticed that of the new neighbors the Koreans, Indians, Pakistan-ies and other third world nation immigrants outnumber the blacks here, AND they are NOT poor. This is a very rich $$$ county thanks to DC.
The GOP won NONE of them in 2012.
And LIBERALs here in charge LOVE new housing regardless of how it kills trees and animals because new residents vote Dem no matter how many taxes are raised on them, and I mean us, not the rich.(sales tax, gas tax, booze and smokes all pooor and middle class)
Howard County is a little bit different from Charles. It actually has a relatively low Black population overall (just under 18%, an increase of just 3% from 2000). There are as many Asians (14.4%) in 2010 as there were Blacks in 2000, which is higher than the average in most places (by comparison, Charles has only 3%). The White population has been decreasing, of course, down to 62% (though because there is overlap with Hispanics, 6%, it’s more likely the White pop is in the mid 50%’s). Of course, Howard flipped to the Dems before the demographic speed-up since there were a lot of true-believing White liberals in the county (with Columbia as their center, designed to be a ‘Kumbaya’ suburb).
I noted, too, Howard has only had 1 GOP County Executive since the office was created in the ‘60s, and that was in the ‘90s (during the brief period when it looked like the party might become competitive statewide, and that all but evaporated a decade ago).
I visited Ellicott City back in the mid ‘90s, a lovely little historic town.
