2. No Democrats in Colleyville

If he lives in Colleyville, he is a Republican. There's no Democrats up in that area, it is all red!

My daughter lives in Trophy Club which is in the area to the west of Colleyville, and in the primaries, there is no Democratic place to vote. She had to drive over to Flower Mound so she could vote Democrat.
