How has your county voted in previous presidential elections?

[ElectionsGuy]

You can see county maps for virtually all presidential elections (even going back to 1820) on Wikipedia pages for each presidential election. I live in Waukesha County, WI. What's funny is it didn't even start becoming to the right of the state or the country until the 50's and 60's, and for a period of time before the 20th century, it was more democratic than the state. Washington and Ozaukee counties were actually the most democratic. Of course today these three counties make up the geographic core of republican support in Wisconsin. Its very interesting stuff when you look at counties from elections over 100 years ago, and you see, for example, that south central Kentucky and eastern Tennessee were republican bastions in the south and they still vote that way now. Anyway...

Um... almost every major city in the Midwest has had white flight at one point. By that logic, Oakland County, MI should be right wing, but its not.

You were commenting before I was done posting the final. I have updated.

Oh, I'm sorry. You're probably correct now
