Most obvious one I can find so far is Jackson, TN.  Elliott, KY remained Democratic but only with a plurality (Obama still managed over 60% in 2008). 

I'm pretty sure that a trio of counties in Southeast Ohio have voted Democratic since 1972 until this election - this would go for many of the counties in West Virginia that Obama won in 2008.

Another thing I found is that Niagara, NY and Monroe, FL have both had Democratic victories under 50% for three elections in a row.

Also,  Broomfield CO retains its bellwether status, accurately predicting the Colorado and national winner in every election. Wink

As does Vigo County (Terre Haute) IN, and reasonably close to the national average as always to boot.

I think the two rural counties in Middle Tennessee which went for Obama in 2008 I believe went GOP for the first time in a long time if ever.  Also Chataqua County, New York didn't back the winner for the first time since 1952.
