Post PatronCounty Data
Hey nmck86,
I had a similiar problem with city names. When I would plot all USA cities, some would show up in the UK and France. I solved it by adding the zip code instead of the city name. It seems that ArcGIS doesn't have a feature to select the specific location you want. It does let you select one or many countries, but I still had city names showing up in other countries with the single country selected.
Short answer is you probably need to add more detailed data or switch your location type to Boundaries, not Points, and select the Location Type Counties.
Hope this helps,
Alan

As Alan said, zip code is usually the quickest solution, if you can add it to your data table.
