Does anyone know how many of these counties have voted for the other party in Senatorial or Gubernatorial elections, as far as the Atlas goes back (since 1990)?

Updated for 2008:


Colorado

D: Costilla (since 1924)
R: Elbert (since 1932)



According to the map at geoelections.free.fr/USA/elec_comtes/1924.htm , Costilla County Colorado went Republican in 1924, but they did go Democratic in 1928.

Judging by the rest of this thread, by a county voting Democratic "since 1924", he means that such county has voted Democratic every election after 1924, but did not vote Democratic in 1924.

Interesting how there are far fewer Dem streaks than Rep streaks as the latter has many rural counties outside the South. Here are the longest Dem streaks:

Brooks, TX (Since 1908, i.e. every time since the county was founded in 1911)

Northampton, NC (Never R in Atlas history which dates to 1924)

Costilla, CO; Suffolk, MA; Ramsey, MN; St. Louis City, MO; Deer Lodge, MT; Bronx, NY; Kings, NY; New York, NY (since 1924)

Duval, TX, Jim Hogg, TX, Maverick, TX, Starr, TX, Webb, TX, Zapata, TX (never R in consecutive Atlas history which dates to 1940, though Webb and Zapata voted R in 1912)

All are Northern urban or majority-minority except for Deer Lodge, MT.
