Cherokee and Muskogee Counties, OK

[clever but short]

Cherokee County is actually only plurality non-Hispanic white, and Tahlequah has a university. Both counties are among the least white in the state, with Cherokee County less white than Muskogee. Edmondson barely winning Muskogee County in 2018 can largely be tied to home turf advantage, and the Edmondson name being a big name in Muskogee. Ultimately though, for whatever reason, both counties have clung more to ancestrally Democratic roots, actually more so than the more south eastern Little Dixie counties.
