Results of the 1984 United States Presidential election by county. The most lopsided election in history, the only state Reagan failed to win was his opponent’s, Minnesota.
Could someone clue me in about that one dark blue county in South Dakota? Has it always been so overwhelmingly Democratic compared to the rest of the state?
His opponent, Walter Mondale, ended up losing the U.S. Senate election in Minnesota in 2002 (as he was rushed onto the ballot after the incumbent Senator and Democratic candidate Paul Wellstone died in a plane crash merely 11 days before the election), thus making him the only person to have lost statewide election in every single U.S. state.

Only lost Minnesota due to a certain popular politician from there named Walter Mondale.
