This would be an interesting idea to see. I would be fascinated by how many counties would hold out in a scenario where Democrats got 71% of the vote. I also wonder how the vote would have looked like by demographic.

I still don't think this is enough for a democratic "road" from coast to coast, I think we figured out here that the shift had to be a little bit bigger than this.

I've actually done about half of the results, and thus far I've found that there are a huge amount of blood red, lowly populated counties that still would stay Republican even with their candidate barely scraping over 20% of the national vote. These are largely concentrated in the south, plains, and interior west, of course.

Yeah, that's a given. But are there any Republican holdouts with more population than two grannies and a dog?

Not really. There are large suburban counties like Shelby, AL that stay narrowly red, along with some mid-sized counties like Houston, AL (Dothan) and Cape Girardeau, MO (Cape Girardeau) that are also just barely Republican (though portions of these cities extend into a nearby County that goes blue).

I see. It'll be interesting to see what you come up with, if you decide to put it up.
 
voting history of these regions/departments (or whatever the S, MW, NE, and W are called):
Northeast: C-O-O-K
New England: C-O-O-K
North Atlantic: C-O-O-K

South: T-R-M-B
Central Atlantic: C-O-O-B
South Atlantic: T-R-M-B
Gulf-Puerto Rico: T-R-M-B
Lower Mississippi: T-R-M-B

Texahoma: T-R-M-B

Midwest: T-O-O-B
Great Lakes: T-O-O-K
Ohio: T-O-O-B
Upper Mississippi-Missouri: T-R-M-B
West: C-O-O-B
Interior Southwest: T-R-M-B
Pacific-Northwest: C-O-O-B
Northern California: C-O-O-K
Southern California: C-O-O-K

(C and T=Clinton or Trump; O and R=Obama or Romney; O and M=Obama or McCain; K or B=Kerry or Bush; dark red=voted D in all of last 4 elections; light red=voted D in 3 of the last 4 elections; purple=voted for both parties twice; light blue=voted R in 3 of last 4 elections; dark blue=voted R in all of last 4 elections. Interior Southwest was within 3,000 votes of voting for Obama in 2008)

Clinton won the Northeast and West (2/4). She won 6 of 14 regions.
Obama in 2012 and 2008 won all but the South (3/4). He won 8 of 14 regions.
Bush in 2004 won all but the Northeast (3/4). He won 9 of 14 regions.

So, I can pretty much calculate every state here aside from Alaska. The constantly changing boroughs make it difficult to get a read on that state.
