Trump won Steuben County by 33 points.

I’m a Baptist and grew up in SW NYS — even lived in Painted Post for a year. There are so many Baptist that Seventh Day Baptists used to coexist with regular Baptists.
Also, have seen more Confederate flags in that neck of the woods than I’ve ever seen here in TN. Trump signs are EVERYWHERE.
It’s not Appalachia. Corning Glass there in Steuben County is high tech, and the place is crawling with PhDs.
