George Wallace's best counties outside the South

[nclib]

What were Wallace's best counties outside the South? Especially among counties outside the South with over 50,000 votes.

The only non-southern county I can find with over 50,000 votes where Wallace broke 20% is Anne Arundel (MD). Anyone know of any others?

How can you have a non-southern county in a southern state?

Obviously it depends on whether Maryland is considered a southern state, but if you consider Maryland, along with Delaware, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia to be southern, then I can't find any large (over 50,000 votes) non-Southern county where Wallace broke 15%.

Edit: I found a few:

Butler, OH 19.2%
Wyandotte, KS 16.6%
Lake, IN 16.4%
Gloucester, NJ 15.5%
St. Clair, IL 15.1%
Genesee, MI 15.0%

Does anyone know anything about these counties? 5 of 6 voted for Kerry, with 3 of them over 60%. Are they very divided or something?
