McGovern 72 - Trump 20 counties

[mileslunn]

Anyone have a list of those as McGovern I believe set record low for counties won.  I am guessing a good chunk in his home state of South Dakota but probably some ancestral Democrat ones elsewhere that have swung GOP since.

Seems majority were in Minnesota and South Dakota even though McGovern lost Minnesota while Biden won it.  Although Nixon won Hennepin county which is now solidly blue.  South Dakota was McGovern's home state so got a bounce from that despite losing.
