I am compiling a list of ancestrally Republican Counties that have voted Republican in every election, with the possible exceptions of 1856, 1860, 1912, 1932, 1936, and 1964. (First three due to third parties).
I'll start with New York
New York-
Tioga
Wayne
Livingston
Steuben
Allegany
Orleans
Genessee
Wyoming
Thoughts on these counties?
Lyndon Johnson, to my knowledge, is the only Democrat ever to win the counties you listed here. In his 1964 landslide, he won every county in New York, and is one of only three presidential candidates-Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge being the others-to do so. I know that in at least one of these counties (Wyoming), Trump got more than 70% of the vote in 2016, in a state that he lost by nearly 23%.
For North Carolina-
Wilkes
Yadkin
For Ohio-
Geauga
Fulton
Warren
Logan
Champaign
Union
Madison (Although 1876 is suspiciously close)
Fayette
Clinton
Greene
Morgan
Most of these counties, except for Fulton and Union, went for Johnson in 1964. I know that Roosevelt won Fulton County in 1932.
Right? And Putnam, NY went Dem in 1864, which I had not known!
Anyway, here is Wisconsin-
Walworth
Illinois-
Lee
Ogle
Stark
Edwards
Ford
Andrew Jackson won Edwards County in 1832, and Lee County, I believe, was carried by Franklin Pierce in 1852. Franklin D. Roosevelt won Ford County in 1932. Ogle County, to my knowledge, has
never voted Democratic. Roosevelt is also the only Democrat to carry Stark County, which he did in 1932.
