In 1936, FDR won Greensville County, Virginia, with 100%.  I was wondering what other counties have gone 100% one way or another?

In that same election several counties in S Carolina did so for FDR.

I've got a county by county book that covers 1920-1964 so I'll check

Wasn't too uncommon back in the days when the polls weren't secret and the local party handed out already-completed color-coded ballots for everyone.

I remember back in 2004, some far western and panhandle counties in Oklahoma went nearly 90% for Bush.  There weren't any complete sweeps other than that Bush swept the state.  Although, Kerry did come close in a few of the Gore counties.

FDR won Wilkison, Georgia, in 1932 with 100%.

I think a better question would be where have their been county sweeps outside of the era of the one-party South.
