Lsdt Republican, or Democrat to carry the previous city.

Thought this might be a fun challenge. One poster names a city that always votes for a certain party, and the other tries to guess when it last voted opposite. I'll start. Detroit, Michigan.

Probably 1964.

Harrison Arkansas

If not 1992 for Clinton then 1976 for Carter. One of those since those were the last times democrats won Boone County, AR.


Houston, TX

1984 or 1988.

Santa Rosa, CA

Either 84 or 80 , the surrounding county barely voted for Reagan in the former, and by double digits in the latter. If not either of those maybe 72.
St. Louis Missouri.

Deadwood, SD

Interesting county there - extremely loyal to the Republican Party, but with a consistent high Democratic floor.

I'm actually going to guess 2020. Very curious to know the real answer.


Atchison, KS

If the place votes R in 2020, you guess the last time it voted D. If it voted D in 2020, you guess the last time it voted R.

Anyways, Atchinson probably last voted D in 1992.

Mount Carroll, IL.

I was guessing that it voted D in 2020, possibly for the first time in a very long time.

Mount Carroll definitely voted D in 2008. 2012, I'm not so sure. Probably it was very close.


Fayette, MO

I’m going to guess Clinton in 1996.

I’m going to guess Clinton in 1996.

It's actually almost certainly Obama 2008! I don't have exact results, but the precinct that includes Fayette also includes quite a bit of surrounding rural land, and Obama lost the precinct by 9 votes.

You didn't provide a city for us to guess.

Oops I meant too. Silver Spring Maryland.
