States in italics have no county that voted for the losing candidate. States in bold have at least one county that voted at least 70% for the losing candidate.
States roughly arranged from West to East because that's how I went through them and I can't be bothered alphabetising them.
AK - Unknown HI - Honolulu County, 68% Obama WA - Garfield County, 71% Romney OR - Lake County, 76% Romney CA - Modoc County, 69% Romney ID - Blaine County, 59% Obama NV - Eureka County, 82% Romney AZ - Santa Cruz County, 68% Obama UT - Summit County, 50% Romney MT - Glacier County, 66% Obama WY - Teton County, 54% Obama CO - Kiowa County, 82% Romney NM - Lea County, 75% Romney ND - Sioux County, 79% Obama SD - Shannon county, 93% Obama (Most Democratic county in US) NE - Thurston County, 56% Obama. KS - Wyandotte County, 68% Obama OK - Cherokee County, 57% Romney TX - Starr County, 86% Obama MN - Wadena County, 61% Romney IA - Sioux County, 83% Romney MO - St Louis City - 82% Obama. (Jackson County at 59% Obama if you don't count it). AR - Phillips County - 66% Obama WI - Washington County, 70% Romney (rounded up) IL - Wayne County, 78% Romney MI - Ottawa County, 66% Romney OH - Mercer County, 76% Romney IN - Lake County - 65% Obama KY - Jefferson County, 55% Obama TN - Shelby County, 63% Obama MS - Jefferson County, 89% Obama AL - Macon County, 87% Obama GA - Hancock County, 81% Obama FL - Holmes County, 83% Romney SC - Allendale County, 79% Obama LA - Orleans Parish, 80% Obama NC - Durham County, 76% Obama VA - Tazewell County, 78% Romney WV - Jefferson County, 51% Romney PA - Fulton County, 77% Romney MD - Garrett County, 74% Romney DE - Sussex County, 56% Romney NJ - Sussex County, 60% Romney NY - Wyoming County, 63% Romney VT - Essex County, 55% Obama MA - Plymouth County, 51% Obama CT - Litchfield County, 51% Romney RI - Washinton County, 57% Obama NH - Belknap County, 52% Romney ME - Piscataquis County, 51% Romney
I was somewhat surprised that Obama has the unhappiest counties, but it makes sense given the existence of small, largely minority counties. All of the "very unhappy counties" seem to be majority black in the South, a Hispanic one in Texas and two Native American reservations in the Dakotas.
