Here we only show the name of county which is large enough in cartogram, so some county name will appear and some disappear as time goes.

Hope you enjoy .

It reminds me of a sack of dog poop

Anyways, I think a lot of these cartogramd show how many states in the west are so rural that they’re urban in a sense. Obviously, ID is pretty safe for the GOP, but in 20 or 30 years that could change rapidly

Idaho County's sheer emptyness. So smol.

[DINGO Joe]

These are cool, but if you had access to say creating a 1976 and/or a 1916 map.  The difference in where the votes were located then would make for some fascinating comparison and contrast.

Kootenai County is so stubbornly red.

I will add the version of year before 2004 later .

Is Idaho still a hotbed for neo Nazis? Do this lot even vote?
If so who to? Split between R/lib/constitutional/McMuffin?

A few quick questions you guys might know:
1) Is Idaho getting more red because the Republicans who used to live in CA are moving there?
2) Why is Ada getting bluer but not Canyon?
3) Why isn’t Latah getting considerably more blue?

1. Idaho looks to be getting bluer overall... if there was a swing towards Republicans it was mostly in the more LDS East where there was a return to normal levels of GOP support after McMullin's run in 2016. However the migration to Idaho appears to be less tech-centered, less urban than that of places like Phoenix or Denver which means the big shifts they saw are happening but at a much slower pace.
2. Ada county itself has a significant chunk of rural / exurban neighborhoods, but it still swung quite a lot towards Biden with the best result for a Democrat since 1940. Canyon County did get slightly bluer as well, but Democrats have done better including Obama. Canyon County has a much more rural feel and is more diverse than Ada County actually.
3. I don't know enough about Latah to answer that question unfortunately.

Who exactly is moving to Idaho? I found an article saying people from other states are responsible for like 70% of its growth. Is it young professionals or retirees?

Tech jobs, why it isn't turning the state blue is what puzzles me.

I was thinking more of a squished dragon head trying very hard to breath fire.

Idaho has had very few changes with its county map over the past 20 years, although Ada County, as was noted above, has been experiencing rapid population growth and has become more Democratic. I believe Ada County will flip sometime in the next decade or so. But otherwise, Democrats have won only three counties in the state at some point since 2000 (Blaine, Latah, and Teton), winning all three only in 2008 and 2020. Bush won every county except for Blaine in 2000 and 2004; Romney and Trump (in 2016) both carried Teton, but not the other two. Teton County was extremely close in 2016; Trump won it by only eight votes, and with a 43.5% plurality.
