Very nice! His areas of strength are the same places that Nader ran well in 2000.

I would really like a LaFollette map for 1924, if at all possible. Smiley

Schmitz ran ahead of McGovern in four Idaho counties, didn't he?

That's pretty damn scary.

Very cool. Thanks for the LaFollette data. Smiley

He took all the Republican progressive vote, even carrying two anti-slavery German counties in Texas.

No idea. It reminds me of the Debs vote in a few northern Louisiana parishes in 1912- he broke 30 percent in one or two iirc. I'm assuming that these places were dirt-poor, but how did the people become organized to vote Socialist, in this one election?

I'm always surprised at how well Wallace ran in Idaho and Nevada.

And the interesting thing about his Idaho county results is how different they are to Schmitz's in places.

That's... odd. Any reason why?

It would be interesting to see the map of support for militia leader Bo Gritz's presidential run in 1992. He was only on the ballot in Utah, Idaho, and Montana iirc.. but he did very well in a handful of counties. He came this close to displacing Clinton for third place in Franklin, Idaho.

When you finish the Humphrey map (or whenever you have time), one for Henry Wallace's Progressive run in 1948 would be nice.

Looks like HHH's support was fairly well distributed; there are only a few areas with disturbingly low levels of support (southern Idaho, western Nebraska, northwest Mississippi, northern Alabama... along with some scattered GOP enclaves like Sioux, Iowa and Gillespie, Texas).

1968 wasn't nearly as geographically polarized as 2004. I'd even guess that Humphrey broke 40 percent in more counties than Kerry did.

Yep, looks like a lot of former Socialists and Progressives came out to vote for Wallace. He must have been backed by many of the Non-Partisan Leaguers, too- look at how well he did in western North Dakota.

Interestingly, he also polled high in the Debs stronghold of Nye, Nevada; he must have ran well among the old miners there.

Truman's map looks a lot like Humphrey's, actually (albeit with generally higher levels of support). Both have typical levels of New Deal Democratic support, as Truman consistently falls below 40 percent only in the Yankee Northeast, rural Michigan, and the most fervent Dixiecrat locales.

Nice. I was wondering if you would be making more. Smiley

I second Dr. Cynic's request for a map of Christensen support, if you get the time to do one.

Thank you! Smiley It's amazing that he broke 40 percent in two counties... nationally, he polled just under 1 percent of the vote.

Palmer nearly beat Bryan in one Massachusetts county, iirc.
