Snyder and Union results going back a bit, from here: http://staffweb.wilkes.edu/harold.cox/pres/indexpres.html

Snyder last went for the Democrats in 1856.

Union last went for the Democrats in 1832.
Pennsylvania had a curious electoral slate in 1856.  The Republicans and American Party shared 26 of 27 electors.  The 27th elector at the top of the ticket was either Frémont or Fillmore (each party pre-printed their own ballot).  In the event that the combined slate won, the parties agreed that the electors would split the electoral vote in proportion to the popular vote.  All was moot as the Democrats carried the state.   There was also a straight American ticket, which supported the national American party's generally pro-slavery platform.

Technically, Snyder County went with the Republican-American ticket, but more people voted Democrat than voted the American or Republican variants.  1856 was also Snyder's first election, having split from the southern half of Union County.
