Your county's results since 1960

Sarpy County, Nebraska, home to Offutt AFB, HQ Strategic Air Command, now USSTRATCOM.  Mostly rural through the 60s, increasingly suburban since then.  Just south of Douglas County (Omaha):

Year   Winner            %R-%D,   Third %, Other %
1960:  Nixon          55.3 - 44.7
1964:  Johnson      44.2 - 55.8
1968:  Nixon          52.5 - 30.6, Wallace 17.0
1972:  Nixon          74.7 - 24.3
1976:  Ford            60.4 - 37.5, Other 2.1
1980:  Reagan       67.0 - 24.5, Anderson 7.3, Other 1.2

2004:  Bush           69.0 - 30, Other 1.0

In my suburban subdivision, I saw one Bush yard sign, no Kerry signs, around 5% of the cars had a Bush sticker, perhaps 1% a Kerry sticker.

Did you know...
only 6 counties in Nebraska went for the Democrat more often than once in that period.
Saline - 60, 64, 68, 76, 88, 92, 96
Thurston - 64, 88, 96, 04
Dakota - 64, 88, 96
Butler, Greeley, Sherman - 60, 64, 76
32 counties - 64
55 counties - never

It's about time, too.

Is that Fairfax County?

Fairfax voted for Johnson.
I think it's either Danville or (more likely, since Danville's a city, not a county) Albemarle county.

1960 - Nixon
1964 - Johnson
1968 - Nixon
1972 - McGovern

Now this is seriously weird.

It probably is Washtenaw.
Pitkin Co, Colorado, also went from Nixon to McGovern to Ford.

1852 being the first election after the county's creation?

Spl2, that site you linked to has less information than the Atlas and is wrong on 2004.

Oops my bad. lol
Edit-
I just thought it was cool

I think that's just on new elections. I don't think the Atlas has stuff on 1796. Or maybe I'm mistaken - I'm no paying member.

I don't like the colour scheme.
