This is a great site, RBH.

1986:



Casey (D) defeated Scranton (R) 51-48.

1990:



Casey (D) beat Hafer (R) 68-32. He lost Montco by a hair and swept the other 66 counties. Lancaster is amazing- the abortion issue really helped Casey here.

Last but not least, this is the 2002 Democratic primary map (not from your site, but it's hilarious):



Red is Rendell; blue is Casey. Rendell won 56-44! Shows you where the Democratic votes are...

Why yes, the Prohibition party did win a county.

Church county, rural, little mass media.

Church county, rural, little mass media.

Lackawanna is heavily industrial and and urban, it contains Scanton. There must have been other factors at work.

There was quite a lot of Welsh immigration to the Scranton area in the late 19th century. Could be a factor maybe.
