Created another thread, but thought I'd share this here as well.

After looking at a list like this, I decided to do some checking myself. Wikipedia had a much longer list of bellwether counties in every state. Pretty much all of these have been on the losing side at most 3 times in half a century (and some have an accuracy streak much longer than that). What are the odds of the results below leading to the outcomes we're expected to believe in these states? I can't even guess at how high they'd be.
