TIPTON, Iowa - When the votes were counted in this Cedar County seat on election night in 2000, the county stood as a symbol of the nation's red and blue political divide.
The tally: 4,025 votes for Democrat Al Gore, 4,025 votes for Republican George W. Bush. Only after the final 14 absentee ballots were counted days later did Gore pull out a two-vote victory.
Four years, a devastating terrorist attack and a controversial war later, county residents say they don't see things much differently this time around. If anything, voters may be more polarized than before.
