"And voting is guided by faith.

“Your year may change but God is still the same,” reads one church sign.

Liberal and the rest of Barton County helped stoke the conservative fires that raged across rural Missouri during the past election. Only one Democrat is left in statewide office — the auditor — and she was appointed under unusual circumstances.

Gov.-elect Eric Greitens, a Republican who replaces Jay Nixon, a Democrat, on Monday, won by 5.6 percentage points of the statewide vote, losing only four jurisdictions: St. Louis County, Boone County, Kansas City and St. Louis.

Even with endorsements from the Missouri Farm Bureau and National Rifle Association, his opponent, Attorney General Chris Koster, couldn’t scrub away his Democratic scent. Especially in Barton County, where Greitens logged his largest margin of victory over Koster: 57 percentage points."

3. This is so fucking disturbing that conservatives are gaining so much power.

And I'm sure AM hate radio and Fox News have a lot to do with it.
