I wonder what the numbers are for Dutch Reformed. The strongest country for Bush in '04, I think, was on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, and then there's those two counties in northwest Iowa.

Not at all. Bush's strongest counties were the typical western nowhere places. Ottawa in Michigan though (the one you mentioned) is probably up there among counties above a certain population though...

But then I wonder who in Utah County is voting Democratic.

I actually once "met" a girl online who was such a person. She was an active member of her liberal Protestant church. Yeah, really makes you wonder what it's like to be such a person.


The most uniform voting block is probably the Jehovah's Witnesses, with 100% not voting.

Actually according to a Pew poll, only 56% don't vote. Most of that do vote actually lean Democratic (not that surprising really though since they would basically be the equivalent of "Jack Mormons" or "Cafeteria Catholics".)
IIRC most US JW's are Black, too, so...

Yeah... aren't those people in Iowa a *specific* Dutch Reformed Church? If so they probably take the cake.
