  1. #1, good question. President Obama got 90.91% in D.C., which is less than his 93% in Shannon County.

  2. #2 – what about in the previous 2 elections – would Shannon County still have 3 in a row, or would DC have won some of them?

  3. The most Democratic county in America is in South Dakota. I learn something new every day!
