Not sure... probably not... not as though there were many of them...

Interesting list actually. Mostly Franco-Catholic.

Probably because Smith was a Catholic and Roosevelt wasn't.

I meant swung to him as in, he improved his percentage of the two-party vote. I didn't mean the county necessarily changed hands.
