Most socially conservative place in every state

[TDAS04]

South Dakota: Douglas County
Iowa: Sioux County
Michigan: Ottawa County
(Guess what these places have in common)

The Dutch?

Correct.

MS - Prentiss County

What makes it more conservative than surrounding counties?

[CatoMinor]

Honolulu in Hawaii?

[Del Tachi]

MS - Prentiss County

What makes it more conservative than surrounding counties?

Its older and whiter and more rural than the surrounding ones.  Itawamba and Tishomingo give it a run for its money though.

What made it vote against Barbour in 2007 though? From what I understand it's a traditional/ancestral Democratic stronghold...obviously staunchly Republican now, but is it really the most socially conservative county in Mississippi?

Anyway, for Maryland, I'd say somewhere in the backwoods of Garrett County. Maybe Accident.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

For Kentucky, probably Piner, or that one really right-wing precinct in northwestern Pendleton County.

In Brooklyn....it's easily the Hasidic Jewish areas of Bensonhurst and the old school NYCers area of Sheepshead Bay

Garrett County has never voted for a Democrat in presidential elections, only voting not Republican in 1912 when Theodore Roosevelt won the County.

However, Barry Goldwater won it by only 109 votes out of 7139 in 1964.

I don't hold its vote for Eaves in 2007 against it, considering that Eaves was a very socially conservative Democrat.  Prentiss is also represented by J.P. Wilemon in the State Senate, one of the only few White Democrats left there.

The fact that Prentiss County still voted for the conservative, Southern Democrat in 2007 is evidence of its traditionalist, old-school way of thinking that is exactly what makes it the most socially conservative place in Mississippi.

In Massachusetts, I'll nominate the conservative Catholic areas of northern Worcester County such as Fitchburg and Leominster. Some immigration, but economically stagnant with few of the colleges and universities that diversify cities like Worcester and Springfield. I'm open to other suggestions.

Southie and the Southie diaspora are not what they used to be since the Catholic Church's credibility collapsed 10 years ago and gentrification diversified those neighborhoods.

[Mike Thick]

CA is definitely Modoc/Lassen counties.

[Clarence Boddicker]

For Tennessee, I'd go with Bradley County. It's one of the most Republican counties in the state and houses the Church of God headquarters.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

Arizona: Colorado City
Minnesota: Prinsburg
Ohio: Holmes County
Utah: Hildale

But those places are full of polygamists.

Quite a few >90% counties in 2006 that voted for a ban on gay marriage and i know people were still socially conservative in 2006 but it was a dem favorable year.

Even if you assumed a uniform swing of say 30% these counties would still be two thirds unaccepting of gay marriage.

There aren't Hasids in Bensonhurst. You're thinking of Borough Park. Though the ultra-Orthodox there are less conservative than the ones in South Williamsburg. And Torie probably has it right that Kiryas Joel way out in Orange County is even more conservative than South Williamsburg.

Going with the ExtremeRepublican method of using the white vote as a means of estimation, NC's most socially conservative county is Robeson (Lumberton, Trump +92.1).

Then again, this method was designed for socially liberal areas instead, so it may be off.

Indiana- the Fort Wayne metro.  It's where all of the social conservatives in Indiana are based and it's where Concordia Seminary of the LCMS is headquartered.

IIRC - Wilemon represents a Tishomingo and Itawamba too? And he is one of, may be, two remaining conservative white Democratic state Senators (with Bob Dearing) in Mississippi. Very conservative socially, slightly less - on economy. And after them the seats will, probably, go Republican.. Am i correct?

That's really insane.

This. Garrett County is the least educated county in the state. It voted 72.91-27.09 against same-sex marriage legalization in 2012.

Kansas' is definitely St. Marys. There's a school associated with the Society of St. Pius X there and it's a hub for traditional Catholics. In fact, Al Gore (22%) finished third in St. Marys to Pat Buchanan (24%) and Michael Peroutka (13%) nearly matched Kerry's percentage (19.9%) there.

[HAnnA MArin County]

For Missouri, it'd have to be somewhere in Southwest Missouri, especially if you look at the 2016 Republican primary map you'll see that that quadrant of the state was heavily Cruz Country. My guess would be Webster County just east of Greene/Springfield. It contains Seymour, which has one of the largest Amish populations in the state.

[HillGoose]

Tennessee- Franklin county

So socially conservative we seceded from the state of Tennessee just to join the Confederacy a few months earlier

[Keep cool-idge]

For Tennessee those eastern Tennessee county’s that have never voted democrat are the actual answer.

Is this a point of pride?
