Which counties, if any, voted for Bush in 2000, Kerry in 2004, Obama in 2008, Romney in 2012, and Trump in 2016?

I found Iron County, Wisconsin that fits this criteria.

Edit: Also Alger County, Michigan, and Wolfe, Menifee and Rowan Counties, Kentucky.

The five I listed above appear to be it (though I'm certainly open to corrections). All five are rural mining communities and traditionally Democratic but appear to have broken against Gore for whatever reason. All of them voted for Bill Clinton both times and for Carter both times, and all but one (Rowan) voted for Dukakis in 1988. Iron, Wolfe and Menifee even voted for Mondale in 1984.

That's strange, especially since Gore performed better in Kentucky than Kerry.

Probably because of Ralph Nader Wink

The margin of victory in Wolfe County was 5 points while Nader only got 1%

Yeah, I don't have a good explanation. I was really surprised to find any Kentucky counties on this list; I thought the Upper Midwest was a much more likely location and would not have thought there were any Bush -> Kerry counties in Kentucky.

There were 6 Bush -> Kerry counties in Kentucky.

However, 3 of them ended up voting McCain, which is the truly strange part.

I guess those were anti-Obama voters who would have voted for Hillary.
