New York comes to mind.  Even in Democratic landslides, there's always Hamilton County, and even in Republican landslides, there's always the Bronx.

After looking them up, yeah, that one's better than mine.  California only did this once (in presidental elections) in the 20th century (1920) while New York did it three times (1920, 1924, 1964).  It also has indeed never happened with Kentucky in the time period for which Dave has maps, but since those end at 1940, it's inconclusive.

Michigan--w/ wayne county, it will NEVER happen.

"Never" might be a bit too strong.  It did happen in 1928.

VT, Mass, NH, CT and RI are the only states that come to mind that lack that kind or diversity.

There's also Utah, Wyoming, and Nebraska, both of which frequently have all their counties won by the Republican.
