Why did Douglas, Bayfield, and Ashland Counties WI, shift right?

[ProgressiveModerate]

One of the smaller themes of this election was certain rural areas that attract older liberal transplants shifting marginally left despite the heavy national swing right. We saw quite a bit of this in the upper midwest - the Cherry Coast (MI), Door County (WI), Lake & Cook Counties (MN).

At face value, Douglas, Bayfield, and Ashland Counties at the northern tip of WI fit a similar profile - especially Bayfield County, yet they swung right - Ashland County by quite a bit compared to it's neighbors. Why wasn't Harris able to get a Dem-friendly swing (or even a very small rightswing) in these counties?

[EastOfEden]

They're not quite like Door, they're partially that and partially in the Iron Range sphere. So there's a fair amount of WWC Dem holdouts there.

[Rhode Islander First, American Second]

I'm honestly surprised that none of them flipped.

[Wormless Gourd]

Ashland and Bayfield have high indigenous sections that shifted right while all three counties are less college educated and much more white than the nation. More comparable to the Duluth and Marquette part of the Great Lakes with labor history than the genteel resorty counties.

[New World Man]

Douglas is WWC mostly with not many tourist jobs.

Does Motorville refer to one of those counties?

"how the heartland went red"

they're one of the very very few remaining WWC counties that still stay true to their democrat roots
