18. Totally wrong. Huntsville is a University and College town. Turnip got 54%, Harris 45%.

Five counties went for Turnip by 90%, and one at 89.5%. Several more in south AL were over 80%. Madison Co. isn't as blue as it needs to be, but it's turning purple.

Our proudest moment -- Madison Co. chose Dem Doug Jones over the despicable Roy Moore in 2017, the only county in the northern third of the state to do so.

BTW, Huntsville is now the most populous city in AL. If it surprises some people that it's not B'ham, that's partly because the greater B'ham metro spreads into neighboring counties. It's still the biggest population center in the state, it's just not all within the city limits of B'ham proper.

BTW, the population of Madison Co. is over 400,000; the four neighboring AL counties combined total a little over 300,000, and Lincoln Co. TN has only 35,000. So I suspect most of Mazda's workers come from the Huntsville/Madison Co. area.
