Kansas has been locked in battle for many years because the big cities in the east (Kansas City, Laurence, and Topeka) have vote blue while the other 100 or so counties try to offset them with red votes.

Kansas has been locked in battle for many years because the big cities in the east (Kansas City, Laurence, and Topeka) have vote blue while the other 100 or so counties try to offset them with red votes. So Kansas has become Nevada. We have one county deep blue (the largest), one that is blue, and then all the other counties in the state are deep, deep red.

I believe last pres election was first time Topeka (Shawnee co) voted blue...and will from here on out. There is a shooting reported at least 4 times a week there nowadays. Pretty much 3 counties Douglas, Johnson, and Shawnee (now).

Yes. It saddens me. I am very disappointed with the state, and the country for that matter. I have my theories, but will just keep them to myself.

If that map is true, it is sad that this is allowed to happen. 3 percent of a states counties should not dictate a states voice.

Anyone else ever noticed the folks in blue districts are pretty cocky considering most of them are between red districts and large bodies of water?

I don't know if that map is accurate or not, but we have 105 counties and I could think of 3 that are lib. I'm not certain that Schmidt was our saving grace, but I have no idea how with Kelly it was such a victory. Can happen to ANY state, don't think it can't!

Virginia is mostly the same way red state with a frw blue spots. If the state's were set up with a electoral college this country would be in a little better shape.
No matter where you go there you are.
