Very helpful information for this Californian considering fleeing the insanity of this state. Good to hear Idaho isn't turning blue with all of the left coasters moving in. Thank you.

I left California 11 years ago and never regretted it. My advice - take a road trip (or a few) when checking out places you’re considering first. County and local information is just as important as the state - especially if it’s a suburban type area with high population growth.

Thank you Alek, I truly appreciate it. Many local folks I chat with say that they want to leave, but don't know where to go.

I know very well that choosing where to go is the hardest part, especially if you don’t have much familiarity or ties to anywhere you would consider moving to. Idaho is a good pick (the few liberal areas there are not too hard to find and avoid if you do your research beforehand) and I personally know of several conservatives who left California for Idaho.

My biggest advice is to look at the trajectory of where you are considering first - following Captain K gives an excellent advantage in that area. Regardless, I would strongly recommend visiting and familiarizing yourself with a place before you decide to make the move so you know what you’re getting into, I am very glad I did that research carefully when I was looking for a house.

From a Captain to a Captain, thank you for your outstanding contributions and attitude in our struggle back toward the America we can be. Your father would be immensely proud.

Thanks so much, Captain Thornton - just filling my role in the trenches as the Colonel would have me do. Wish I could have a beer with him and download the last 15 years to him.

Filling your role with excellence and demonstrating your true colors. You were my first paid substack subscription, and I am glad to be a small part of your battalion.

It’s an honor, David. On a side note, did you know the Seattle Times inadvertently promoted me to Naval Captain?

I did! Very sporting of them as well as indicative of their level of knowledge. What I also know is that if I were going into battle, I would want you to be the one telling me what I was going to be facing. I hope the White House understands how valuable what you provide is.

I believe that will be the case! Remember, better to be accurate than fast.

Looking forward to your next update on interaction with the administration on election integrity. Hopefully something is already in the works! Keep up the GREAT work, Cap'n!

Thanks Alek. I believe it's road trip time!

Captain K, I have one question - I noticed that Ohio did not appear on either this list or the battlegrounds list (not saying it is really competitive anymore, but it would make sense to be grouped with Florida and Iowa for similar trend progression). Ohio registers voters by party, if I remember correctly. Did you miss it or is the information not yet available?

Anyway, this is all great, welcome news. Thanks for all the good work.

I can’t get consistent county level data.

Thank you, Seth. This is more good news but the left’s ability to cheat scares me.
