Most politically "unhappy" county by state

[Nichlemn]

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.

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.

I don't think Fulton County, PA, voted for Obama.

Corrected. I had a few of those earlier, must have missed that one.

Florida seems to be missing

Fixed. Probably not the last mistake either...

That's the only state you missed, and I can't spot anything else.

I've probably missed the top county in at least one state, having listed the second best instead.

I used Presidential results because they're easy, but it's probably the statewide results that matter most. Like the typical resident of New Orleans would have been happy on election night 2012 because Obama won, not caring so much that their state didn't vote for Obama. But the typical resident of New Orleans is probably relatively unhappy with the state government, so the proxy works out. However, some counties vote differently at the state level and some states are controlled by parties other than who they recently voted for President. For instance, Wayne County, MI (Detroit) is probably the "unhappiest" county in Michigan recently.
