Message: <blockquote data-quote="OK Corgi Rancher" data-source="post: 4129882" data-attributes="member: 45773">That's really not what was happening when I lived there.  But that's been 3 years ago.Someone in Boise did a study of people moving to Idaho from out of state (specifically from CA) and found over 80% of new arrivals were registering to vote as republicans.As late as Sep 2023 republicans outnumbered democrats by about 4 to 1.  Unaffiliated voters outnumbered democrats by over 2 to 1, and the vast majority vote republican.  Those are about the same ratios as when I lived there.  To be fair, there are plenty of liberals in Idaho.  A lot of rich, liberal elites are buying property there.  That's why it's gotten so expensive to live in northern Idaho and why I didn't retire there.  It's a very red state overall.</blockquote>
