Minnesota voted for Ike both times, and before Roosevelt's '32 landslide, Democrats had never won the state (Roosevelt's 1912 win there was the only non-Republican victory since statehood).
MN's current streak is pretty impressive, but its 1860-1928 all-Republican/Bull-Moose run is more so.
What's the longest streak on the books? I'm guessing Arkansas, voted Democrat every election 1876-1968.
Found a longer one...
Vermont. Voted Whig / Republican every election from 1836 to 1960. Other than Johnson's landslide in 1964, they didn't vote for a single Democrat between Monroe and Clinton.
I doubt anyone can beat that.
