User blog comment:JCC the Alternate Historian/How Jefferson Would've Likely Voted in Past Elections/@comment-25626-20191225164624

I think Jefferson follows the same trajectory as the Pacific Northwest, and that by 1992, it's a solid Dem state. The demographic changes that impacted Washington and Oregon would still be at play in Jefferson, including increased population urban areas and stagnation or decline of population in the rural areas. Add to that a population of Sasquatch that is very aware of just how recently it's been deemed "real people" and "real Americans". I think the strain of US conservatism that has metastasized into "Trumpism" would spend much of the 1980s and 1990s alienating Sasquatch in much the same way the GOP has spent decades alienating POC.

I think 1992 for sure, its Dems all the way down. Now, given what we know, I'd be astonished if Jefferson had more than 4 electoral votes even at the end of the 20th century. That number means Jefferson wouldn't matter much until 2000, the only election since 1919 where the margin in the EC was so razor thin that a few votes would actually matter. HT, if inclined, could definitely write an interesting version of the 2000 election.
