In the days following Election Day this year, some politicians and political commentators in Montana were saying that Cascade County, MT has transformed from a Democratic-leaning county to a strongly Republican-leaning county. They cite the decisive margins of victory there for almost every Republican candidate running for federal and statewide offices (only two Democratic candidates - the ones for Senate and Superintendent of Public Instruction - were able to win any precincts in this county, and all of the precincts they won were in and around the urban core of Great Falls), as well as the fact that all of the winners of state legislative races based in this county were Republicans. Would it be fair to say that this county is now as out of reach for Democrats as counties like Sanders, Mineral, Rosebud, Dawson, Sheridan, and Valley (all of which had been won by Democrats in close statewide races at various points between the 1990s and the early 2010s)?
