Newly released Census Bureau stats suggest voters are fleeing Democratic strongholds
From deep red Texas to bright blue Oregon to purple Florida, America’s fastest-growing counties overwhelmingly are trending Republican.
The latest population estimates released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau make that starkly clear. Of the 100 counties of at least 10,000 residents that had the fastest growth rates from July 2015 to July 2016, 93 voted for President Donald Trump in November. Just six backed Democrat Hillary Clinton. The political leanings of the 100th, Matanuska-Susitna Borough in Alaska, are unclear because that state does not report presidential returns at the county level.
Clinton won 26 of the 100 counties that lost population at the fastest rate. That is a higher share than her performance nationwide, when she carried about 16 percent of counties.

Thanks goodness for the electoral college! The dumbocrats concentrating in the nasty cities can still be overcome by the majority of the country!
Except GOV Hogan.
Maryland needs the Electoral College.
4:02 - I totally agree...between the Baltimore and immediate DC areas - the liberal bastions of the state...they're telling the rest of us how to live!
Looks like Hillary is the loser!!
