Red Oregon, Blue Oregon

(Click the pic to see the entire map in glorious technicolor.)

Even in bluest Multnomah county 29% voted with the resitance, and even in reddest Sherman 28% had imperial sympathies.

I notice that the steepest red-blue gradient is between Roseburg, the timber capital of my childhood, and Eugene, the hippie haven of my twenties.

For the benefit of you out-of-staters, Lane County (Eugene) is the home of the University of Oregon, and Benton County (Corvallis) of Oregon State University. Marion County (Salem), so the old joke went, is the home of three institutions, one of which is run by the inmates. Unfortunately the joke no longer works, as they've closed down the state mental hospital. Those people now live on the streets of Multnomah County (Portland), where they participate in demonstrations, self-immolations, and GOTV drives.
