24. Okeechobee County is deep red. 76.5 percent voted for Trump

The state court judges in Okeechobee are elected in what are described as "non partisan" contests. But it would be naive to think that the judges in the county are anything other than Trumpers and that they won't rule in Trump's favor when he moves to quash these discovery requests as overbroad. Not saying it would be the correct decision -- it wouldn't -- but just suggesting that there is no way Trump drops his complaint because of this discovery request.
