re: #12 Dark_Falcon
I’m going to have to differ with this one. Kansas, The two Dakotas, Alaska, Oklahoma: That’s five states that were never part of the Confederacy, but are all strongly Republican.
Can you name any confederate states that lean democratic DF?
The only one I can think of is Virginia slowly going purple.
Also Kansas was a very close border state (bleeding Kansas and all) Alaska did not exist as a state at the time, and neither did Dakota.
Your logic is full of of holes.
