There are 536 of them [Obama-Trump communities] in Wisconsin, and 24 in Sauk County alone. They represent almost 30% of the state's municipalities. They are overwhelmingly white. They are mostly small. Only 10 of them have more than 10,000 people (the biggest is the city of Fond du Lac). They are mostly found in Wisconsin’s more lightly populated western half. And by definition, they are places where partisan loyalties and ideology are weaker than they are in the reddest and bluest corners of the state.
The Trump/Pence ticket received 230 more votes than Biden-Harris. And moving Reedsburg voters up to an even high level of shame, Republican Peter Theron received 100 more votes than Mark Pocan.
Trump won Sauk County in 2016 with 47.2% of the vote, beating Clinton by a mere 109 votes.Biden won Sauk County in 2020 with 50% of the vote, beating Trump by 615 votes.
