bump, would be interested in seeing other states if you can
It is also interesting to note counties that have been the strongest swing toward one party one election and toward the opposite party next election.
County, which candidate it favors:
Ontonagon, MI 2000 Bush Gogebic, MI 1984 Mondale Kent, MI 1976 Ford Wayne, MI 1964 Goldwater Crawford, MI 1964 LBJ Lincoln, WA 1964 Goldwater Menominee, WI 1992 Bush Douglas, WI 1984 Mondale Hunterdon, NJ 1968 Nixon Lake, MN 1984 Mondale Stearns, MN 1960 JFK Athens, OH 1972 McGovern Belmont, OH 1968 Humphrey Holmes, OH 1964 LBJ Owen, IN 1976 Carter Monroe, IN 1972 McGovern (also largest swing in 1968 for HHH) DeKalb, IL 1972 McGovern Tyler, WV 1996 Clinton (also largest swing in 1992 for Clinton) Lewis, WV 1984 Reagan Ohio, WV 1976 Ford Owsley, KY 1996 Clinton Clay, KY 1972 McGovern St. Louis City, MO 1976 Ford Reynolds, MO 1960 Nixon Trinity, CA 1960 JFK Philadelphia, PA 1964 Goldwater
Some are obvious - Kent, MI - Grand Rapids Ford's home; Stearns, MN - St. Cloud Catholics; Monroe, IN and Athens, OH are univ. towns, I guess McGovern did comparatively well there after voting age lowered.
Any explanations for the others?
