Gallatin County, MT was the only county in the state that swung AND trended Democratic in 2016. Bill Clinton lost it in 1992 and 1996 by 6 and 12 points, respectively, even though he did better in the state than Hillary Clinton and won it in 1992 (mostly because of the Perot factor). Nonetheless, 2016 was only the second time since 1944 (!) that the county voted D (it also voted for Obama in 2008, but only by 3 points, so it wasn't THAT much more Democratic than the state as a whole).
