Leslie, Kentucky has always voted Republican

I think this is for every single race in the county's history or something daft; although it came shockingly close to voting for Mongiardo in last year's Senate race (Leslie is in his State Senate district).

Before 1932 this was because it had been settled by Virginians. After 1932 it was because of the huge UMW organising drive in Central Appalachia.

The amazing thing about South Central KY is that the Republicans from there (Hal Rogers is a good example) are fairly moderate, at least economically (in direct contrast to the nutters in Northern KY...)

You get the same patterns in Tennessee interestingly enough, which leads me to Hancock county which (IIRC) has always voted GOP.

- it's just that now they're on the same side, since the conservative old time Democrats have switched parties.

There's more than a small amount of irony in that

True; it's funny that the big difference in voting patterns in Appalachia is determined mostly by geology

Logan, WV has been Democratic every year the Atlas has data for except for 1928. In 1972 it was McGovern's only county in WV.
And Kerry nearly managed to lose it last year... *shakes head*

Grant County, WV went GOP in every election for which there is data, if TR counts for 1912. Not that it has many people.

Grant County has been GOP since the Civil War. Except for a couple of precincts in the extreme southwest of the county.
