OT: When you say "There's a heavily republican county in southern Oregon" you must be talking about Jackson County. It also has a long sorted well documented history of very active support for the KKK.
Jackson County has dire financial issues because it, like Alaska, saw natural resources as a never ending gravy train. For Southern Oregon it was timber. For Alaska it was oil.
