Red, but not totally into that Trump's America thing; Livingston County, Michigan


Analyzing the election: Livingston County is actually becoming MORE Republican.  (Livingston Post, 11/28/2018)
Livingston County has always been a Republican stronghold, and if you’re wondering just how much of a Republican stronghold it’s been, consider this: Only twice in the last hundred years has a Democratic presidential candidate carried the county. 
In 1932, Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt beat Republican Herbert Hoover by about 150 votes. And in 1964, Lyndon Johnson beat Barry Goldwater by a few thousand. That’s been it. In every other election in the last hundred years, the Republican has won handily here.
