It isn't demographically much different from surrounding Kentucky counties, mostly white yet has remained Democratic leaning to the present with Obama winning it in 2012 even (albeit by a narrower margin then usual.)

Everyone here thinks Kentucky is like the Deep South. It isn't yet - and might not ever be.

Kentucky had some of the first civil rights laws in America, and it's never had a statewide "right-to-work" law yet - and might not ever.

Strom Thurmond, George Wallace, and Barry Goldwater were electorally demolished in this state.

Yeah, because Elliot County couldn't be a fairly racist and culturally backward community and still vote Democrat??  Lol, k.

Yet they voted for the black guy twice while Democrats collapsed everywhere else in Appalachia.
