Summary of Bill Bishop's The Big Sort

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I heard from LaHonda Jo Morgan, who lived in Wauconda, Washington, a one-building town about 150 miles northwest of Spokane. She was convinced that Wauconda remained on the map simply because mapmakers didn’t want to leave any empty space.

#2 Being a political minority can be uncomfortable and scary. In 2000, more than eight out of ten voters in Gillespie County, Texas, voted for Bush. Two years later, Democrats prepared a float for the Fourth of July parade in Fredericksburg, but no one wanted to ride it.

#3 Voting records are not checked before houses are bought, as it is simple to figure out where a person will vote simply by looking at their home.

#4 Some people are already moving to avoid being surrounded by Republicans.
