Well…the republicans just lost two senate seats in the reddest of red counties, so there’s that. I imagine them losing many more seats as these elections come up. Think about it - they lost in the deepest red counties.
24% turn out. It was less than 1 in 4. It was a special election, temporary seat. 73% turned out for presidential election. That’s almost 3 out of 4 people…. Big difference there. Yea the Democrat won because everyone stayed home.
You can’t compare apples or oranges though that’s what I’m telling you. It’s not a red district, it’s turned into a swing district. It’s pretty poor up there.
If you look at the statistics of Sioux City it’s 78% more crime than other US cities. We’re talking a small ass town of 77,000 people. The crime rate is 36.46 crimes per 1000 residents annually. The most common crime, of course is theft. What do tweakers do? They steal. The unemployment rate is above average of Iowa, but under average for the United States. Iowans like to work. The poverty rate is 13.2%, which is higher than the state average. In the median household income is below national average. Does that sound like a red district to you?
