Burton, AKA Burtucky, is probably the deepest red area in the county.

BTW, they embrace the name 'Burtucky' and even have a festival named for it. Needless to say, I've never attended. The only time I ever go to Burton is when I have an appointment at Oak Street.

Don't get me wrong - I'm sure there are lots of lovely people in Burton but it's pretty much infested with MAGAts.
