I noticed most of these were Southern and mostly likely due to the black vote outside of Franklin County, KY (Government). Richmond County, NY (Staten Island) has the hurricane. Chaffee County is in Colorado ski country, which has really gone leftist in the last 20 years with celebrity culture in the region. (Aspen, Eagle, etc).
I'm quite surprised how few county flips there were in 2012, at least in this direction.
Elections have consequences -- from the race for President to the race for one seat on a city council. The political economist Max Weber wrote that the state possesses a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. But in the United States, the state is divided into myriad federal, state, and local entities. And the elections to fill those entities are the products of the fascinating interactions between campaigns, party affiliations, voter turnout, and the media spotlight. Red Racing Horses analyzes those elections -- from a Republican-leaning perspective -- to keep a close eye on the process of electing officials, and to offer our perspective on the election-related issues of the day. Thank you for visiting, and we hope you'll enjoy the blog.
