How did your county vote in the last presidential election?

A friend sent me this and I spent an hour just looking at random places that went both red and blue. I was a little surprised that in some of the blue areas, the vote was less than 300 votes separating the winner and loser of the county.
I thought this was super interesting, and thought some of you might find it interesting too! You can zoom in and click on the county you live in, and see how the vote ended up breaking down between each party. There might be some surprises along the way!
I was a poll worker for the Presidential Election. I live in a VERY blue county in a red state. I know how the county as a whole voted. I was a bit surprised at how the precinct I worked voted. Heavily red. If there was any fraud going on, it was in the vote counting machines or happened after we packed up the paper ballots. I didn't see anyone trying to vote with a 4 month old utility bill as ID. That used to be acceptable in Missouri, but they changed the law in 2022. A list of acceptable IDs 3 pages long was reduced to: A Missouri Driver License/ID Card, United States Passport, or a Federal ID with a Photo and Expiration Date. I do believe that cut down on voter fraud in a significant way. I did check to see if number of ballots "counted" from my precinct matched the number we turned in. Spot on. No ballots mysteriously added to the count. The more transparent we can keep the voting process the better. Thanks to everyone out there who voted. Make our voices heard!
The local rag was "aghast" 56% of the voters went for Trump.
They are still in denial.
It would be funny to watch except, while we think they are people with bad ideas and ideals, they think we are bad people and no amount of cajoling will convince them otherwise.
My nephew (recently graduated college) has unfriended everyone who even hints at supporting Trump, according to his mother. I wonder how much longer he will be able to tolerate living at home with his girlfriend in the basement?
