Arkham, MA would be a safe Democratic city given its based off of Salem, is a postindustrial mill town with a large European "ethnic" (including Polish) population and has a major liberal art college within in the city limits.

Any idea of Arlen, Texas voted? I imagine its a Republican city and remains so but heavily swung towards Biden in 2020.

Elwood City is an old lumber mill and factory town located in Pennsylvania and said to be based off of the author's hometown of Erie (https://arthur.fandom.com/wiki/Elwood_City) so I suspected it has consistently voted for Democrats but with a large swing towards Trump in 2016. Its county probably went Republican in 2016 though.

Baltimore, from The Wire, seems to have a black supermajority, so I suspect it would be one of the most Democratic cities in the country. Trump probably carried a couple of the precincts with ethnic Whites like the Sobotkas, who held for Dems throughout the Obama presidency but probably swung hard to Trump.

Baltimore is a real city.

I actually don't see it. He was pretty concerned that people lie on the internet, I doubt he would do it himself.

Hah! Fair point, but you know what they say:


I think Buster would be a true believer in alt right conspiracy theories given he's prone to blame aliens on everything. You wouldn't happen to be one of the hosts of the Arthur episodes rewatch podcast right? Just wondering because the hosts are based out of Halifax.

I'm afraid not. What's the podcast called? I'd love to check it out, I've got a lot of Arthur nostalgia.

Hill Valley from Back to the Future is located "12 miles east of Grass Valley" which puts it in firm tossup territory. The only notable town close to 12 miles away is light red Colfax, which has a modest similarity to the movie town from what I've seen.



Otoh Hill Valley shares its motto with Orange County suburb Fountain Valley, namely "A Nice Place to Live". Fountain Valley voted for McCain-Romney-Clinton-Trump, making it the ultimate anti-bellweather city.
