Found another county with a losing streak of 9 in addition to Greene County, NY.
Walker County, TX, 1876-1908, losing streak of 9. Voted third-party three times.
1876: Tilden 1880: Third Party 1884: Blaine 1888: Third Party 1892: Third Party (Weaver) 1896: Bryan 1900: Bryan 1904: Parker 1908: Bryan
Some other long losing streaks:
Barry County, MO, 1872-1900, losing streak of 8. Voted for one of the two major party nominees each time.
1872: Greeley 1876: Tilden 1880: Hancock 1884: Blaine 1888: Cleveland 1892: Harrison 1896: Bryan 1900: Bryan
Another losing streak of 8---Pierce County, NE, 1868-1896, voted third party once. 1868: Seymour 1872: Greeley 1876: Tilden 1880: Hancock 1884: Blaine 1888: Cleveland 1892: Third-Party (Weaver) 1896: Bryan
And another one---Churchill County, NV, 1872-1900. Voted third party once. 1872: Greeley 1876: Tilden 1880: Hancock 1884: Blaine 1888: Cleveland 1892: Third-Party (Weaver) 1896: Bryan 1900: Bryan
Here's where it gets interesting. Churchill County's vote was tied in 1868 between Grant and Seymour, while McLellan won the vote in 1864. If you count the 1868 tie vote as a losing vote, its losing streak is extended to ten, from 1864-1900, longer than both Greene County, NY and Walker County, TX.
