Some people in Polk County, North Carolina for some reason, the nation's only Hughes-Cox county!

As discussed in this topic (https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=415039.0), some sources including Atlas and Wikipedia have numbers claiming that Manistee County, MI is also a Hughes-Cox county, but those numbers are almost certainly incorrect. Manistee voted GOP in almost every other election from 1896-1928, and by landslide margins in 1924/1928. Michigan as a whole swung GOP by 42 points from 1916/1920, and every other county in the state swung GOP by at least 10 points.

However, Polk County seems to be an actual Hughes-Cox county. North Carolina only swung GOP by 3 points and Polk had twice the voter amount in 1920 compared to 1916 (likely due to 19th amendment)
