    So when one town votes for trump and Harris wins the state the votes of that town are “overturned” by the state then?

        Really? I grew up in a red town in Massachusetts and I’ve literally never heard a single person talk about their vote like that ever, let alone suggest that the town should join another state.

          Welcome to Oregon!

          Here’s the thing, the population centers, where people actually live, are super super blue.

          The rest of the state is Trump country.

          So every election, the people in Portland, Salem, Eugene, Corvallis, Bend and Newport call the shots. Everyone else feels disenfranchised because in those counties there are more square miles and cows than people.
