AFAIK, these Virginia Counties still do not have a stoplight:
Highland Co, VA
Charles City Co, VA
Mathews Co, VA
Fluvanna Co, VA
Craig Co, VA
Bath Co, VA
Cumberland Co, VA

Some Virginia Counties have just one:
Floyd Co
King and Queen Co
Nelson Co

One of my friends from college told me that Fluvanna County has one now for a CVS.

Last time I was there, Keweenaw County, MI.  The northernmost permanent signal (other than used for bridge repairs) is in Calumet/Laurium in Houghton County.

Trinity County in California.  I drove through there a few years ago, and I saw a temporary construction signal, but that doesn't count.  I can't find it on streetview.  (It was the Southern junction with CA-299 and CA-3).

They do have their own bus service, though. 
Take the road less traveled.

I don't know if any in MS, but I'm willing to bet one or two don't have them. It wouldn't shock me if Sharkey and Issaquena counties are among them.

Charles City County still only has a flashing beacon at VA 5/106/156.

Olive Garden must be stopped.  I must stop them.

Don't @ me. Seriously.

I don't remember any in Boise City, which would mean that Cimarron County, OK would have none.

Crawford and Ohio counties in Indiana are the only ones I can think of. Benton, Warren and Switzerland counties have one stoplight each.

In Texas: Terrell, Jeff Davis, Motley, Borden (in addition to Loving, already mentioned).
Also Kenedy County South of Corpus Christi has none.

Jackson County, home to Walden, is the only county in Colorado without a traffic signal.
Baca, Crowley, Kiowa, Cheyenne neither.

EDIT: Also, add Costilla, Conejos, Mineral, Hinsdale, Saguache and Dolores to that list.

Putnam Co IL, Stark Co IL, Adams Co WI, Calumet Co WI and Cherry Co NE to the best of my knowledge do not have a single stoplight. About 15 years ago or so, Marquette Co WI and Green Lake Co WI were also on that list.

Cherry Co NE has stoplights now, according to StreetView

I do believe Dukes County, MA (a.k.a. Martha's Vineyard) and Nantucket County, MA both fit into this category.

Both also fall into a smaller club: counties with no signed state highways.
If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.

Alaska has eight boroughs (Northwest Arctic, Aleutians East, Lake and Peninsula, Bristol Bay, Kodiak Island, Sitka, Yakutat, Wrangell) and seven census areas (Aleutians West, Nome, Bethel, Wade Hampton, Dillingham, Hoonah-Angoon, Prince of Wales-Hyder) with no signed, numbered state highways.  Most or all of them have state-maintained roads, since the state maintains most significant roads and many insignificant ones in Alaska; but the network with signed route numbers is pretty small.  Some of these county equivalents without numbered state highways have at least one stoplight.   

Hawaii's Kalawao County has neither stoplights nor numbered routes.

At least some of those Alaska boroughs are not (directly) connected to the North American highway network, correct?

Aside from the ones connected only by auto ferry, Prince of Wales-Hyder has a local road connection in Hyder to BC 37A at the Canadian border.

Nope.  There are no permanent signals in Keweenaw County,  There are sometimes temporary ones for bridge repairs and the like, and there is a flashing red at US-41 and M-26 in Copper Harbor.

I've never seen any definitive list for Indiana, but the best I can figure, Crawford, Fountain, and Ohio counties are all without stop lights.
Indiana: counties 100%, highways 100%
Illinois: counties 100%, highways 61%
Michigan: counties 100%, highways 56%
Wisconsin: counties 86%, highways 23%

I grew up in a county with no stoplight except an overhead flashing yellow:  Rawlins County, Kansas.  In fact, our house was 28 miles from the nearest stoplight (a distance I once drove in 15 or 16 minutes at night in the fog).
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.

Attica in Fountain County has at least two stoplights. I would agree on Crawford and Ohio Counties.

I wouldn't think that Warren County has any.

Living in New Jersey, I do not think there was any county in the 20th Century that had none.  I do not think any county in the Mid Atlantic Region near the big cities had not one place that had at least a few except for Pike County, PA where the Borough of Milford had its one and only stoplight up until the 90's when Wal Mart and Home Depot opened stores in Matomoras.  For the longest time as a child, I remember that US 6 had only one signal between Indian Orchard, PA and Port Jervis, NY.

In addition, the original US 6 & US 209 signal in Milford was side mounted and the signal heads were green, as Pennsylvania always used yellow.  I always wondered about that, as a kid, I always used to think the colors of the signals were statewide used in every state except NY that always used yellow in NYC on the double guy arms and the green span wires elsewhere.  Also, side mounted in PA was only used in Southeast Philadelphia back at that particular time as overhead assemblies ruled there.

In Oregon, I'm pretty sure Gilliam, Lake, Sherman, Wallowa, and Wheeler Counties have no stoplights. There's probably a few more, but I don't feel like checking right now :P

Forgot about Attica for Fountain County.  In Warren County, US41/IN55 intersection has a stop light.
