election cycle where counties outside of the Plains vote 90%+ Republican?

[Not a Partisan Hack ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)]

When do you think it will happen?

It'll only happen in 2020 if Democrats nominate a really sh!tty candidate, but it's likely to happen soon considering Trump got 85-89% in a large smattering of counties in the Deep South. He also got 87% in Grant County, West Virginia and 89% in Leslie County, Kentucky.

Blount, Winston, Cullman, and Cleburne in AL.

Blount county is only 1% away!

It could happen in 2020, but it's unlikely since I don't think there will be a huge shift towards Trump anywhere. If it does happen, it would be in southeast Kentucky.

2024 probably.

If Trump wins a second term, 2024 should be a very easy Democratic victory, so I don't see why any counties outside of the Plains states would vote 90%+ Republican then.
Also why would he be more likely to hit that number in a county/counties in Southeast Kentucky?

Blount, Winston, Cullman, and Cleburne in AL.

Blount county is only 1% away!

Winston County is only 0.5% away.

I think it's possible Trump does even better in rural areas in 2020 than he did in 2016, even whilst losing re-election. So maybe Winston will go R >90% in 2020.

There were several counties in the rural South that voted over 90% Republican, and there were a few counties in West Virginia that came close. It could very well happen in 2020.

Roberts County, TX voted 95% GOP in 2016. King County voted 94% GOP.

I believe he counts rural Texas as part of the Plains states.

It's the most historically Republican part of Kentucky, and Trump was extremely close to 90% in some of those counties – vs. only 70% in Elliot County, and similar percentages in surrounding areas where registered Democrats still outnumber registered Republicans.

The way things are going in WV and KY, I could certainly see Trump getting to 90% in some counties there, provided he come through on crucial campaign promises like the wall. I could also see 90% being reached in northern AL and maybe northwest GA and northeastern MS. Trump won two counties in AL and one in KY by margins of over 80%, so a decline from the unusually high third party vote of 2016 could easily push him over that threshold, even without a continued democrat decline.

Outside of the South/Appalachia, northeastern WY and Eastern MT have some, but maybe those are still considered plains. Southern PA and the Illinois coal region have some counties that could also go, but they're long shots.

NE WY and Eastern MT are considered Plains.
