Emmy Award Winner (2025)

Elliot County, Kentucky was the last county in the U.S. Southern States to flip red, after a 144-year legacy of voting Democrat. The summer before the 2024 election, we investigate where that loyalty came from, why it died out, and why conversations about immigration—the number one issue leading up to the election—have a surprising context here.
