relocating to Northeast Ohio to be near family That whole area used to be blue but now Westmoreland, Fayette, Greene County are blood red. I am not sure about Washington County it may be a bit better than the other neighboring counties. Allegheny County is the only decent county because of Pittsburgh.
Washington is a lovely area but very rural...so I am sure lots of trumpers.
