Bizarre voting patterns in the past

Jefferson county, Iowa. I found this extremely bizzare.

The following totals are for candidates that are not members of the Republican, Democrat, Green or Reform parties.

2000 - 16.3% - Other
1996 - 22.8% - Other
1992 - 23.9% - Other

I don't know what's been going on over in Jefferson Co. Iowa these past three elections. It's a recent occurance, too. If you go back to elections in '88, '84, '80, '76...the "other" vote in the county usually doesn't exceed 2%.

I think that was John Hagelin--Natural Law Party candidate who was from there.

On a state level, I find it interesting that Vermont was the only state that swung to the Dems from 1976-1980 and Tenn. was the only state that swung to the GOP from 1984-1988.

Carter's sweep of GA's counties in '76 is even more amazing given the fact that Nixon won all of GA's counties in '72.
