When I lived in South Carolina (I lived there from 1986-1990), in 1988, my teacher (I was in second grade) held a vote to find out how most of our parents were voting. Nearly every child there raised their hands for Dukakis. I was one of two that raised my hand for Bush. Yet the town I lived in was the EPITOME of the stereotypical Southern town. Clover still only has a population of about 2000. When we lived there, it was barely over 1000, so everyone knew each other, and most people were related somehow.
As a matter of fact, there were two girls who were best friends. One was white, the other was black. The white girl's ancestors had owned the black girl's ancestors as slaves.
The town I lived in in Oklahoma (a college town, Stillwater) was mostly Democrat.
So, there are exceptions to this "rule."
