Title: Broken county streaks Post by: Ebowed on November 07, 2012, 05:59:51 AM Most obvious one I can find so far is Jackson, TN. Elliott, KY remained Democratic but only with a plurality (Obama still managed over 60% in 2008).
I'm pretty sure that a trio of counties in Southeast Ohio have voted Democratic since 1972 until this election - this would go for many of the counties in West Virginia that Obama won in 2008. Another thing I found is that Niagara, NY and Monroe, FL have both had Democratic victories under 50% for three elections in a row.

Barbour, AL - 2000 Conecuh, AL - 2000 Franklin, KY - 2000 Staten Island, NY - 2000 Early, GA - 1996 Woodbury, IA - 1996 (Romney may end up winning this county; he is on Politico) Darlington, SC - 1996 Nash, NC - 1976 Chaffee, CO - 1964 Warren, MS - 1960 (though voted for Wallace in 1968) Title: Re: Broken county streaks Post by: RI on November 11, 2012, 04:36:22 PM Last time voting GOP before 2012 for select Obama/Romney counties:
Big Stone, MN - 1980 Monroe, OH - 1980 Pine, MN - 1972 Belmont, OH - 1972 Jefferson, OH - 1972 Kenedy, TX - 1972 Braxton, WV - 1972 Marion, WV - 1972 McDowell, WV - 1972 Webster, WV - 1972 Houston, TN - 1928 (though voted for Wallace in 1968) Jackson, TN - 1920 Title: Re: Broken county streaks Post by: mileslunn on November 18, 2012, 10:35:06 PM I think the two rural counties in Middle Tennessee which went for Obama in 2008 I believe went GOP for the first time in a long time if ever. Also Chataqua County, New York didn't back the winner for the first time since 1952.
