The red areas aren't actually that bad. But I'd definitely avoid the burgundy ones.

The downside to my red district is that I know my local votes don't matter at all. We do have a Dem state rep amazingly enough but he's of the Joe Manchin school of being a Democrat (none the less, they are really trying to push him out now that the Dems gained control of the state house... holy cow the political ads I'm getting right now are weekly attack ads in March).

Ok! so avoid the dark maroon areas in this map, and be more open minded to the red/pink areas! thanks!

keep in mind some of the edges of the red area may not be terrible, and some of the blue areas may be REALLY bad depending on where they are. It really is a sharp drop off in most areas between hide your sheep, and you'll sleep like a baby

I'm in a red county up against allegheny. It is pretty MAGA, but there is a good amount of progressive population. I bet some areas could be slipping blue. The county as a whole will take time.

Good place to live if you want land.

Yeah I definitely feel if I was from the area it would be so much easier to know the areas!

It's also hard when we are comfortable living anywhere in the state, and see these amazing beautiful homes in our budget but they're smack dab in MAGA country based on searches.
