      Grant County was founded in 1866, and has NEVER voted Democratic in a presidential election. Only time it wasn't won by a Republican was when Teddy Roosevelt ran a 3rd party campaign in 1912 and won the county. Furthermore, since at least 1880 (possibly before but I can't find county-level data), it has received been the most Republican county (by percentage of the vote) in WV in every election except 1912. Even in 1912 it was the least Democratic county in WV, with Wilson getting just 20.42% of the vote.

      Grant County, as you saw in the video, was a major outlier in West Virginian politics. In much of the Deep South, the randomly deep red counties you see in elections from post-Reconstruction until the 1960s (early 21st century for WV) are due to Civil War loyalties. In the South's case, these counties were ones that had few slaves (due to poor farming conditions) and thus were less predisposed to support secession. While Democrats in the South would largely back the Confederacy, these unionist counties felt alienated and opted to strongly support the Republicans. After the Civil War, this unionist sentiment remained as voting GOP became an ancestral tradition. In the case of Grant County, WV, this county was founded by Union veterans and Republicans immediately following the Civil War. As such, they held a strong Republican bent that still stands today.

    I always felt that Hillary had a good idea. Working in the coal mines is a death sentence. Why don't we take all the miners out of the mines, retrain them at government expense and put them in a higher paying job. Apparently suggesting they get out of the coal mines was the worst insult she could throw at them. I hope all of those guys are happy today
