Ye gods, how is it possible that such a Republican state could have such an overwhelmingly terrible Republican bench?
It hasn't been Republican for terribly long. People have to remember that the upper plains only started turning blood-red in the 1990s, and that's taken pretty long to filter up to the federal level.
Isn't the whole reason there are
two Dakotas that the Republican-controlled US Congress of the late 19th century wanted to add two Republican-leaning states to the union (and four Republican senators to the Senate)?
