(Admiration of absolute government is proportionate to the contempt one has for others.-Tocqueville)
Way back in George Washington's time the richest counties in America voted for him twice, and then they voted for Jefferson, then Adams ~ same counties too!
Around here there was some change in county shapes as Virginia tried to organize to meet population shifts in the post Revolution era, but otherwise all the same places as today.
