Washoe; still amazed at quite how big Obama won it (and still a little surprised it didn't swing more 2000 to 2004, actually.)
It was the only Nevada county where Bush's percentage actually fell in 2004
Town of Eureka gave McCain a whopping 80%, his best result in the data set. Rural parts gave him "only" 65. The town is more than half the county; it was a mining town once but is growing fast now after decades of seemingly terminal decline.
Really? From what? They call it "the loneliest place on Earth" for a reason.
Storey: Virginia City is Republican by 15 points. Gold Hill went for Obama by 5. Rural parts went for Obama by 1. I looked at precincts. There are two in Virginia City, one much smaller than the other. Obama won the small one by 3, got crushed by 22 in the other. What is this?
No idea... but Storey was the only Nevada county to vote for
