Greetings from Cabell County, West Virginia, where church and state are blended in a red froth


Cabell County is not nearly as Trumpy as the rest of West Virginia, where the Orange Guy received 68.6% of the vote in 2020, tops among the 50 states.
 
3rd-party candidates received 16% of vote in 1992, 9.5% of vote in 1996, 6.8% in 2016;
(Segregationist George Wallace received 10.8% of the vote in 1968)

In fact, Cabell County voters seemed to sour on Trump a bit.

Trump received 2,271 more votes than he did in 2016, a 11% increase, in a county where the 2020 population of 94,350 has decreased 13% since its 1960 peak of 108,202. 

On the other hand, Biden received 3,547 more votes than Clinton did in 2016, an increase of 31%.

Trump's share of the vote decreased by 1 percentage point.  Biden increased Clinton's share of the vote by 6 percentage points.


Trumpers still doin' their thing.
 

And getting some much-needed pushback
"For years, school system employees have violated the constitutional rights of students by promoting and advancing the Christian religion, as well as by coercing students into participating in Christian religious activity," the suit reads. The Freedom From Religion Foundation is a nonprofit that promotes the separation of church and state. 
The suit follows a walkout at Huntington High School last week where more than 100 students left their classrooms chanting, "Separate the church and state," and, "My faith, my choice."

8/3/2021 update starts here

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 500,000 Americans have died since companies began aggressively marketing and distributing prescription pain pills in the late 1990s. 
Experts believe the flood of opioid medications served as a kind of gateway, igniting a deadly second wave of addiction and overdose deaths linked to heroin and the synthetic opioid fentanyl.

The county seat is Huntington, where Trump held a campaign rally last night.  The city's population peaked at 86,353 in 1950.  Its estimated 2016 population is 48,113, a drop of 44%.
