How the red and blue map evolved over the past century. (America, the Jesuit Review, 6/29/2016)
But 163 counties abandoned Clinton in 1996 and haven’t voted Democratic since. The defections represented a further withering away of the party’s rural and small-town base; Clinton’s liberal social policies evidently were too much for these counties, and pro-life Democrats were becoming increasingly estranged from the national party. Switches included Murfreesboro’s Rutherford County, Tenn.; Topeka’s Shawnee County, Kan.; Owensboro’s Daviess County, Ky.; and Dublin’s Laurens County, in central Georgia.

Topeka is the county seat of Shawnee County. (And the state capitol of Kansas.)
