Emmons County, North Dakota

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Even though I've live in two counties that neighbor it, I've never been there since before my age was double digits, although it's because there's really no reason to go there. I noticed that much earlier though, and came to the same conclusion as above, because the area is predominately made up of German Catholics as basically everwhere in that area is except Bismarck/Mandan and of course the Indian Reservation. Further evidence of this lies in the 1928 results.

Today that part of ND is so conservative I prefer to simply not go there at all. In 2000 one of the precincts there voted for Bush over 90%, he got 138 votes to Gore's 7. Buchanan made a scarily high showing in many other precincts and in neighboring Kidder county actually has a precint where Buchanan outpolled Gore. I can't avoid Kidder when I go home, but luckily my experience on it consists only of miles of empty road on I-94.
