MODERATORS
those vote breakdowns look really weird, how hard and fast the county went from solid reliable democrat to bleeding maga red.
Based on the total vote counts it looks like the vast majority of Dem voters left the county over the years while Rep voters were relatively stable.
1976 Rep: 4,107 Dem: 10,557 almost 15,000 voters
2008 Rep: 2,882 Dem: 3,430 about 6,200 voters
2024 Rep: 4,310 Dem: 1,036 about 5, 300
