Strongest Republican swings among the counties
I count 62 that swung 20.00% or more Republican
Illinois (14) Gallatin, White, Lawrence, Edgar, Clark, Jasper, Wabash, Wayne, Edwards, Calhoun, Jersey, Clay, Clinton, Saline
Indiana (6) Dubois, Knox, Clay, Vermillion, Rush, Putnam
Kentucky (15) Knott, Pike, Magoffin, Floyd, Union, Perry, Breathitt, Morgan, Letcher, Wolfe, Elliot, Webster, Muhlenberg, Menifee, McLean
North Dakota (1) Stark
Pennsylvania (1) Elk
Texas (1) McMullen
Utah (8 ) Carbon, Cache, Wasatch, Juab, Daggett, Sanpete, Tooele, Salt Lake
Virginia (6) Buchanan, Dickenson, Tazewell, Russell, Wise, City of Norton
West Virginia (9) Boone, McDowell, Webster, Nicholas, Mingo, Wyoming, Logan, Clay, Lincoln
Wisconsin (1) Waupaca
Top ten were
Boone WV 42.21
Knott KY 39.73
McDowell WV 38.42
Pike KY 36.71
Webster WV 33.13
Magoffin KY 32.84
Floyd KY 32.57
Nicholas WV 32.04
Gallatin IL 31.05
Mingo WV 30.56
Only one county swung 20.00% or more Democratic so I bumped the threshold down to 10.00% Still that only yielded 5
Saint Bernard, LA 20.77
Clark, ID 12.74
Reeves, TX 11.00
Webb, TX 10.57
Saint John the Baptist, LA 10.10
Notable takeaways:
Most of the Republican ones are coal counties
Salt Lake stands out as it's by far the most populous of them all
St Bernard is quite an outlier
