Maybe it's due to the early wave of white flight which began shortly after WWII
In which case we should see a huge numerical increase of Eisenhower votes in Bucks and Montgomery counties.

Well, that's what happened.

Ike got 11k more votes than Dewey in Bucks and 30k mores votes in Montgomery.
I guess that solves one piece of the puzzle.
