All of us ‘makers’ live in a ring around the ‘takers’. Farm subsidies and such make the outlying areas blue.

Minnesota is such a weird state. If it weren’t for my husband and his family here I’d be looooong gone. I’m a native South Dakotan who finds it frustrating to live amongst the weirdos.

Pity, such a pretty state but seemingly filled with morons.

I have a very liberal (and very nice) step-daughter who lives in one of the western suburbs. It’s highly amusing to me to think many of her neighbors might be Republicans.

Eastern Washington, Oregon and California are conservative.

But they’re overwhelmed by the liberal cities on the coast.

BINGO....Fraud may be a problem here...we have online registration....and I (and many others) don’t believe any checking on eligibility is done. In our county Richardson won the majority

Might be, not a chance! Hee-hee! There’s a reason the west ‘burbs are bright red. It’s where all the conservatives congregate.

Enjoy!

This Sarasohn guy is a liberal apologist from decades ago.

A visit to Portland or Salem will answer any question you may have about Oregon.

Oregon is as much a one-party state as anything the Soviets could devise, and the Democratic Party machine is as corrupt as anything seen in Chicago. Eight out of ten Portlanders are brain-washed morons the likes of which would not be out of place in North Korea.

[Hawaii stayed Blue too........but everyone knows we’re a lost cause]
That of course depends on how you look at the situation. First of all weren’t we taught that the most efficient method of ruling over the teeming masses of peasants was a one party government? Therefore there is no need for the “masses” to engage in any involvement of the governing process. Their only function is to allow the proletariat to operate and that is by giving all their votes to the proletariat....no questions asked. This has proven successfull in the countries of Cuba, Russia, China, North Korea, Viet Nam and to a slightly lesser degree some other countries. For us here in Hawaii, the proletariat will make sure that money from the treasury flows here.

Our former Senator (now deceased) Dan Inouye was well known as the “King of Pork” for his ability to “bring home the bacon” to Hawaii. Needless to say, those who sucked most at the federal tits worshiped the man.

That pretty much describes the political situation here in Paradise where the Dems can boast of having the lowest voter involvement in all the 50 states.

The vote by mail in Washington permits no meaningful oversight of vote fraud whatsoever. King County is notorious for vote Democrat vote fraud.

Also, much of the ballot had Democrat candidates with no Republican candidates at all, especially for the judicial positions.

I'm pretty sure that's not it. I'm gobsmacked and completely amazed when I find even ONE engineer (typically software engineers for some reason) who pledges to the dark side.

In spite of the job title, "software engineers" aren't really engineers. They are not to be confused with engineers who write software. Similarly, "computer scientists" aren't really scientists.
