Sounds like a pretty titanium D county these days, though it swung lightly to Trump this year I bet. Probably voted Clinton 2016 but would have voted Sanders 2020 if the race was competitive at that point.

According to the NYT, the aforementioned (heavily Asian) unincorporated suburban precincts all swung D from 2016 IRL- Trump's percentage actually decreased in a few of them. All of Washington County within the urban growth boundary swung D, but there were a couple areas in SE Hillsboro and NW Beaverton where Trump gained 4-5% and almost matched Biden's gains from Hillary.

Name: Dooley County
State: Deep South, Comparable to Georgia, Mississippi or Alabama
Region: Suburbs/Exurbs of a major metropolitan area (fictional city of Quinlon)
County Seat: Daviston, largest population center is the unincorporated CDP of Przedpelski
Economy: Home to Quinlon Przedpelski International Airport, the Port of Quinlon, a major Amazon distribution center, and shipping/transit logistics due to strategic location at the intersection of several interstates.
Demographics: 31% Anglo White, 30% Latino (primarily Mexicans and Central Americans), 29% Black, 9% Asian
Population: 295,000
History: Was a rural county on the mouth of the Choctaw River Estuary, with an economy reliant on agriculture. Beginning in the 1950s suburban growth began in the area, and was only accelerated by opening of the airport and by the construction of the Port. Has become significantly more diverse in the last 20 years.


Sounds similar to Gwinnett County, GA- but in a metro area on the Gulf Coast. I'll let the next poster fill in the details.
