That is a more difficult question. I would say Alabama and Missiissppi are probably the closest. In 1840 Miss went with the Whigs and Ala the Democrats.
1868 Miss had not yet regained the right to cast EVs though Alabama had.
And in 1960 though John Kennedy actually one the Popular vote in both states. (for named candidates) Miss did not award any EVs and Ala rewarded JFK with 5 EVs the rest of them were left unpledged.
Idaho and Utah have almost always voted together except in 1900 when Utah went Republican and Idaho was for the Democrat.
I counted 6 timees that Conneticut and Rhode Island have gone in different directions.
It would take time to compile a list for everytime everystate but I doubt that their is a pair. The one that is more likely is if there are two states that have voted differently everysingle election.
