Kent County is in the northern part of the lower peninsula. The most well known city in the area is Grand Rapids, home of the DeVos family (Amway, Former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos). In more recent history they have usually been right leaning, and the sheriff's office had been in the news for not the greatest reasons.
That's what I know and colors my perception. I'm honestly surprised that Harris won that county, so maybe there is a culture shift up there.
At the very least it should allow locally hosted online games.
