GET ME REWRITE: Divided town in a MAGA county in a divided state

 

Kewaunee County ranks 12th among Wisconsin's 72 counties in having the largest percentage of its presidential vote for Donald Trump in 2020, 12 years after voting for Barack Obama by 11 percentage points.  

It's home to a major-leaague all-star MAGA flip.

  

Source:  Wikipedia

3rd-party candidates received 20.6% of vote in 1992, 

14.4% of vote in 1996, 4.9% in 2016;

(Alabama segregationist George Wallace received 9.1% of the vote in 1968)
