Even though about as far apart as you can get by distance and terrain in the US, mine and your counties residents seem to think remarkably alike although the republicans get even better numbers here. We vote very heavily republican and have very few democrats even vie for county office. Four years ago we had six running for sheriff, all on the republican ticket. The winner is running unopposed this time. He is a staunch supporter of the Constitution, has told our governor to go pound sand more than once, and won when she sued him in the state supreme court which is made up completely of democrats. AS to liberal initiatives on the ballot we always lose in the long run just like you did. Albuqurque and points north see to that.
