I believe that Alaska in the 2012 Presidential Election fits.  Romney won 13 boroughs/census areas; Obama won 16.

As far as I can tell, last time it happenned in a Presidential race was 1996 in SC


As I said upthread, the last time actually was quite recently- Alaska 2012.  Of course, "counties" is a bit of a misnomer in Alaska, but Obama won the majority of county-equivalents- boroughs and unincorporated census areas.

Hard to find maps for Alaska, though.
