It was just on the border of 20%, so I will say yes.

Yep. Over a 40% win margin for the Democrats in 2012.

17%, but close enough, I'd say.

My constituency was within a five percent margin but this was very much a phenomena of the incumbent MP being the leader of a very much discredited party and his personal vote turning negative.

I'm pretty sure my precinct, town, county, congressional district, and state all qualify. Including the place I live and vote, and the place I go to college.

My current county was a >40% victory county in 2012, so pretty close to the opposite.

Oh yes, Orleans Parish 80-18 Obama.  My precinct only 50-46 Obama though.

I live in the heavily Democatic Wayne County (Detroit), Michigan. It last carried Republican in 1928 for Herbert Hoover. It realigned Democratic in 1932.

You live in Nick Clegg's constituency?

State: Illinois was a >20% Obama state in 2008 but isn't usually. 17% margin for Obama in 2012.

County: Champaign County was 17% pro-Obama margin in 2008 but it is usually a swing county.

Only thing that would qualify for me would be my precinct, which was 85-15% Obama in 2008, 80-20% Obama margin in 2012, 70-30% Quinn margin in 2014.

Champaign County is very polarized in that Champaign-Urbana is very liberal but the county is large in area, which throws a lot of conservative rural area into the vote.

No, there are hardly any landslide districts or states in Austria, relative to the national result. Maybe the bobo/hipster inner-city districts of Vienna, which are skewing heavily to the Left and a few rural districts in Lower Austria as well as in Tyrol and Vorarlberg.

My state (Salzburg) and district (Pinzgau) are only slightly to the right of federal Austrian election results.

County: Dakota County has a slight republican lean, but is always pretty close.

State: MN is Safe D, but not MA-Level Safe D.

State is mostly GOP, but my county/Congressional district are up for grabs most elections lately.

I live in a landslide precinct, in a landslide city, in a landslide state, but not in a landslide county.

Simcoe County (including my riding) is generally a conservative landslide when conservatives win nationally/provincially and a close conservative win when they lose.

Since the county is divided into several ridings that don't even match it's boundaries, these are just estimates:
2011 federal election: 58% CPC, 20% NDP, 14% LPC, 5% Green
2015 federal election: 46% CPC, 38% LPC, 11% NDP, 4% Green

State -- definitely not (I live in Ohio, which voted for Obama 51-48). Amusingly, of the three counties you can pick between for the county I live in (my legal residence is in Cuyahoga County, which voted 69-30 Obama; since August, I've been studying/living in Richland County, which voted Romney 59-39; starting in January, I intend to continue my studies in Franklin County, which voted 61-38 Obama), they are all landslide counties for either Romney or Obama. (Of the other counties I've lived in, Kings County NY voted 82-17 Obama, while the one swing county I've lived in, Champaign County IL, voted 52-45 Obama). Anyway, voted 'yes', for either Cuyahoga or Richland County.

Amusingly, I'm fairly confident my precinct in very-blue Cuyahoga County voted solidly Romney, even as my precinct in very-red Richland County voted solidly Obama. But I'm too lazy to actually check that.

Clallam County is actually a bellweather county, just slightly to the right of the nation as a whole.

Romney carried my state by 18 points, and my county by 7.
