Who names a county Door

The origin of the name is actually quite badass. It comes from the name of the straight between the mainland and Washington Island, Porte des Morts, literally Door of Death or Death's Door. The dangerous passage is scattered with shipwrecks and was known to early French explorers and local Native Americans.

I would put the actual rating at Tilt R. The northern tip (tourist part) is getting more consitantly Democratic and the largest city, Sturgeon Bay, should remian a Democratic area. The issue for Democrats is the southern part of county is becoming more Republican on average and there is more people here than the norther part. This is also where the majority of the state's Belgium population lives.
