Shannon county, South Dakota? Tell me about how a South Dakota county ranked number 2.
South Dakota has three extremely Democratic counties - most notably Shannon (85%), Todd (72%), and Buffalo (72%).
To know why these areas are so Democratic, you need but only look at two statistics each:
Shannon County, South Dakota
Percent Native American: 94.20%
Poverty rate: 52.3%
Todd County, South Dakota
Percent Native American: 85.60%
Poverty rate: 48.3%
Buffalo County, South Dakota
Percent Native American: 81.59%
Poverty rate: 56.9%
All three are in similar condition, but Buffalo County probably is the worst-off (it only is closer in voting because it has a higher white population and its Native American population has become discouraged from voting). Unemployment hovers around seventy percent, and many homes lack indoor plumbing.
Parts of South Dakota are, quite genuinely, third-world countries within our own borders.
