Crump: Custer Was A Democrat

A reader places an Election Day bet that rock-ribbed Republican Idaho doesn’t have a single county named after a Democrat. Hate to take his 50 cents, but Dems nearly outnumber Republicans among Idaho’s 44 county namesakes: Jefferson, the eastern Idaho county named after the third president of the United States. Madison, a neighboring county named for the fourth president. Lewis, named after Voyage of Discovery leader Meriwether Lewis, appointed by Jefferson as governor of Louisiana Territory and served from 1807-09. Custer, named for George Armstrong You-Know-Who. The Ohio-born Custer was the 19th century version of a yellow-dog Democrat/ Steve Crump , Twin Falls Times-News. More here .
