Hmm. My first thought was to look at Louisiana, as I hypothesized Smith may have received a Catholic boost that FDR didn't get in Cajun Country.

I see that Iberville Parish voted 85% Smith, but only 75% FDR. Iberia is 86% Smith and 75% FDR. St. John the Baptist is 89% Smith and 80% FDR. St. James is 92% Smith and 88% FDR.

It looks like there are more, but because the swing/trend feature doesn't go back that far, checking is kind of time-consuming. If you have any ideas of where else to check, I would be happy to do so.

There are no swing/trend maps, but there is swing/trend data available on the data tables, which can be sorted by swing/trend.

Every state swung to FDR, but Massachusetts had the smallest swing, and there was one county there, Berkshire, that swung towards Hoover (though FDR still narrowly carried it). The Catholic influence again.
