Using Census data, we've figured out that half of the United States population is clustered in just the 146 biggest counties out of over 3000.
Here's the map, with said counties shaded in. Below the map is the list of all the counties, so you can see if you live in one of them.
See link for list of names.

Funny thing: I actually have lived in several of these counties, and they were small when I lived there.
Fresno, CA
Fort Bend County, TX
Snohomish Co., WA
Yup, time to cut 'em loose.
And I’ll bet they got Dimocrat every single time...
Well, there’s your problem right there.
For Fort Bend County, TX and Harris County, TX, Republicans are still being elected in Federal, State, and County offices. The only exception is the Houston in Harris County, TX. Houston is still electing CONNGGRRESSS WWWWOOMMMANN!!!! Sheila Jackson “Carpetbagger” Lee.
I think we need to spread the wealth around and make these folks move throughout the country such that each county has the same population. This would greatly help the planet.
(do I really have to say “sarc”?)
"The Bronx? No thonx!"
I can guarantee you that Hidalgo County in Texas is pure BROWN and half of them are illegals.
They multiply (thanks to the welfare system) like the splitting of the atom: Family starts at 2, expands to 6, the next generation it expands to 36 and then next generation expands to 1,296 and on and on and on.
AND THEY ARE ALL DEMOCRATS!
Nope. I currently live in one of them ... Collin County, Texas. Doesn’t get much more conservative than that. Previously, I lived in Williamson County ... conservative, but not as much as Collin.
Don’t know about any of the other counties but I can absolutely tell you you’re wrong on the two counties in Oklahoma (Oklahoma and Tulsa counties) as all 77 Oklahoma counties rejected Obama. Isolated precincts went for him but the overall vote in the county was not Obama.
Interesting. Some other folks are saying the same thing. It has been my take that when areas become densely populated, they tend to be more liberal. Evidently that isn’t universally true.
Most of these counties are safe blue. Not all.
So, team Obama learned to gin-up the vote count in those safe counties to ensure a statewide victory.
That is why many of those counties in the Northeast and Midwest had votes that were 100% Obama 0% Romney...and vote totals that exceed the number of registered voters.
Not Monmouth County NJ
I better start making a list. I may want to move some day.
Heh, heh, heh...
Food stamp counties. The residents of these counties live off government EBT cards, rent subsidies, free school breakfasts and lunches, etc. etc. in exchange for voting for Democrats. It’s a win/win for Takers and their enablers and a lose for taxpayers in all those other counties who are stuck with the trash they vote into office.
This sort of begs the question: Why isn’t the Senate a Republican majority?

The Lower Rio Grande Valley has been colonized and taken over by Mexico, with all of the accompanying social and political corruption. The American taxpayer has financed that takeover, not just with welfare but with dozens of other wealth transfers. And they are constantly carping and whining for more.
Hey, hey, hey—I’ve only lived in four of those counties over the past three decades.
(And yes, it is politically lonely.)
