HARMONY, Wis. (AP) — Looking to go where supporters of President Joe Biden and Donald Trump live in harmony? Live in Harmony. Residents here, spread out on rich farmland and residential subdivisions, seemingly embody the name of the 24-square-mile town and the political leanings of the volatile swing state of Wisconsin. Since 2000, Harmony voters have picked the winner in all 13 presidential and gubernatorial races. Four of the past six presidential elections in swing state Wisconsin have been decided by less than a point, and Harmony residents seem to have the winning touch. Town Chair Jeff Klenz says that while he believes the country is divided, “I don’t believe that same thing in Harmony Township.”
