A follow-up question would be "what is the biggest difference in 2004 presidential result in bordering white-majority counties"? That appears to be (below), though I am not certain. San Miguel, CO 71.56% for Kerry Montrose, CO 69.17% for Bush Title: Re: Biggest difference in 2004 presidential result in bordering counties Post by: Alcon on April 14, 2008, 10:27:38 PM Cassia and Blaine, ID have a margin of 88.46% difference. That's a little bigger than San Miguel/Montrose.
