Stewart's Creek #2 (Surry County NC's 26th Precinct)
Trump: 1,321 79.53% (Swing of +6.48%,+169 Votes) Clinton: 311 18.72% (Swing of -7.03%, -95 Votes) Johnson: 25 01.51% (Swing of +0.56%, +10 Votes) WI: 3 00.18% Stein: 1 00.06% (+1 Vote)
Total: 1,661 (+84 Voters from 2012)
My entire county voted overwhelmingly Republican for the 2nd time in a row. I was surprised in 2012 I figured Barry would win at least the county center seat of Dobson as at it's core historically it's always been Democratic haven down there or the smallest part of Elkin even but he lost both of those; need to go check the numbers to see how much by. Closest any Dem came to getting blown out before was Bill in 1996. This time though I expected a slaughter here as I seen only about 2 to 4 Hillary signs the entire race; there were hundreds of Trump signs. Even a huge pro Trump billboard! Straight out of the 30's.
50% plus of my precinct voted early for the first time ever. Went at 1 or so on Election Day and they had close to 200 voters that day; not bad for my precinct.
The worst Trump did in any Precinct was 59% and that was the heart of Dobson Surry's 2nd Precinct. Hillary got 18% here; truly spectacular. Hands down the worst performance for a Democratic candidate ever in Surry County; worse than Mondale and McGovern even. Hard to believe considering we used to be a solid Democratic county in the FDR days. Senate, Governor, and almost every other race went Republican; I hope a Dem won a Precinct in one single race but I'm not sure of that.
