      Multiple counties in Illinois voted in favor of exploring secession from the state because they don’t like how Chicago turns the state blue. It would definitely be a red state without us.

          I was just looking at some of the recent voting data by state and one of the southwestern or Western states was only 6k votes from electing Harris. I think there were only about 100k votes total. Maybe it was Oklahoma?

            I find that interesting yet hard to believe.

            I tried to search for the info but Google is failing me and I’m too lazy to click a bunch of States on an interactive map.

        still majority yes, but also minnesota is a solid blue state. It’s maybe like a 75/25 split which isn’t that radical.

        In fact, of the yellows, there are 3 Democratic, 2 Swing States, and 5 Republican.
