Don't worry red counties.  I'm sure you have at least 70% of the high school drop outs, meth addicts, mental illness, obesity and diabetes.

Quote
The 2020 elections, chaotic and marked by races “too close to call,” have nonetheless reaffirmed that, at least in Washington, the two parties now speak for markedly different segments of the U.S. economy.

President Donald Trump carried 2,497 counties across the country that together generate 29% of the American economy, according to a new study by the Brookings Institution.

President-elect Joe Biden won 477 counties that together generate 70% of U.S. GDP.

These differences, if they persist or worsen, could result in partisan gridlock for years to come, a researcher wrote.
