What is the most Democratic county with a significant GOP area?

I think Travis County, Texas probably takes the cake.

But then you have Marion, Indiana, Silver Bow and Deer Lodge in Montana for strong Dems in strong Repub areas.

As for strong Repub in Dem areas... maybe Orange, California, McMullen and Live Oak in Texas, definitely Lee County in Georgia.

And then you could list countless minority-majority counties in red states... anything south of San Antonio in Texas, Sioux and Rollette in North Dakota, Shannon in South Dakota, any Black Belt counties of the South.

The fact those areas even exist though is kind of noteworthy. For contrast there are no GOP or even swing areas of Minneapolis*, no matter how small. And also true for a ton of other cities.

*Obviously not true of Hennepin county though.

I just mapped Hennepin County's voting patterns in Presidential elections from 2000 to 2012. Interesting to see just how Republican some of the far western small towns and townships are. Even in 2008.
