I'm sure you are correct. Similarly, Illinois (where I live) is bright blue in Chicago, Bloomington, Springfield (the capitol) and East St. Louis. The rest is pretty much solid red. But because of the populations involved, the Dems run everything in the state. Sigh.

I have been trying to sell this proposition for at least a decade as I watched here in commifornia voters pass school bond after useless school bond tacked on to our already outrageous property taxes. No one has given me a good argument against, most just say it wouldn’t be fair. I remind them taxation without representation started a revolution!
Or at the least pay income tax. Perhaps over a period of time for example 3 of the last 5 years. I hesitate to say this though as it would just create another bureaucratic mess.
We should have electoral college type voting in the states, say by County level, so as to even eliminate the tyranny of the majority from major city populations.

We should go back to the original-ish voting laws: You need to be a landowner to vote.
Especially since land owners pay so many more taxes. Remember you will own nothing and be happy. Apartment buildings are being built more and more.
I agree. Most landowners are older and wiser too.

I agree. Only those who pay federal taxes should be able to vote in a federal election.
Michigan, too
Same for NY.
Yup. It still kills me that Zeldin lost the race pretty much only because of Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx.
Me too. And it’s always the same story. The greater NYC area controls everything 😡

You forgot Champaign Urbana is stinking blue with liberals and Chinese. I've met them all. I prefer the Chinese.
True in parts of Maryland. Pity us for Montgomery County and Baltimore City.
