As Robert David Sullivan noted, Orange County, CA 'provided the Republicans with their biggest raw-vote margin in the state from 1960 through 2004 (except for 1972), giving up the title to Bakersfield’s Kern County in 2008' . The counties providing each party with their biggest raw vote margins in given states have often been very stable, and changes often reflect interesting developments. This part will list the counties in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, and Colorado for Republicans. A post with links to all the parts is here .

These are all the counties that cast over 100,000 votes in either 1992 or 1996 (1992 being a higher-turnout election), and that either voted Republican in every election from 1968 through 1988, or voted for Bush Sr in 1992 (if both, the latter is listed, as a stronger indication of loyal Republicanism).  Unless otherwise noted, the number of votes cast is in 1996. The last time a Republican won the state without carrying the county is also listed in bold. States that voted for Bob Dole in 1996 (and therefore wouldn't under any circumstances have been considered 'swing states' in 2000 ) are italicised.
