Looks pretty accurate with only one noticeable fail...
...there are NO liberal towns in Texas.

Marfa...creativity does not equal liberal.
Austin...it's relative. The students stay dtown, and the gays stay down by the river...otherwise, it's conservative.

Pointe a la Hache Louisiana, listed as most Liberal in that State, only has around 20 people and is 100% Black. I think most of the people there would say they favor the Democratic Party's positions on issues without even knowing what the Democratic Party's positions on issues are. They just know they vote Democrat. That's what they do.
And my guess most of them don't even know what "climate change" is. They have no clue.
Sorry. But that's my honest assessment of the situation.

S.side of the river west side of 35...had wife and 2 children in the car heading to the Long Performing Arts center...
...about 20-30 in a park along the boardwalk having an orgy around 6p...would have embarrassed Caligula.
Was told by a local the cops turn a blind eye, like the homeless, so long as they stay out of downtown.

Doon, IA is barely a town. It's about 15 minutes from my hometown. The population is listed at 500 but only about 50 live in town...the live closer to Rock Valley as they all work there.
The town is .5 square miles.
I call bullshit

It's probably just someone data mining election results. That's why these small towns show up so much.
A place like Doon, IA probably voted pretty close to 100% Republican.

I've never heard of Accident MD. It's out west. Might as well be part of WV. My mom grew up in Takoma Park, and my grandmother lived there until the late 90's. You need to speak spanish to live there now. Might as well call it Little Honduras.

I'd like to see if they put some size limitations on these. Tangier, VA... population under 1000 and it's an island.
For Maryland, Takoma Park is dark blue, but I'd put Garrett Park or Cabin John ahead of it.

Ivy, did you not click on the graphic? Surprised you didn't mention that your adopted Slower Delaware digs (Bethel) got the most conservative designation for our fine state. Of course, your weekday residence is in the shadow of the most liberal city.

Probably... extreme NW Iowa is about as conservative as you can get.
This is all of doon...Everything inside the purple square is a auto junk yard. Yep, 30% of the town is literally a junk yard
