Title: Best Third Party showings (county-wise) Post by: RBH on August 18, 2005, 08:02:07 PM Ross Perot won a bunch of counties in 1992.
So did Wallace and Strom. T. Coleman Andrews won two counties in 1956. The Texas Regulars won a county. The Prohibition party candidate won a high percentage in one Florida county in 1924. Any other odd third-party showings in counties?

In 1972 in a county Arizona there was an error where a good number of people voted for the Socialist Labor nominee and George McGovern. What a mess! :O Title: Re: Best Third Party showings (county-wise) Post by: Max Power on August 19, 2005, 02:20:47 PM TR in 1912 and there was a party in 1892, or around then, that did pretty darn good.

Coleman Andrews won two counties in 1956. The Texas Regulars won a county. The Prohibition party candidate won a high percentage in one Florida county in 1924. Any other odd third-party showings in counties? Perot didn't really win too many counties, but he received a much higher chunk of the popular vote than Wallace or Thurmond. Without debate, the strongest third party candidate was Theodore Roosevelt in 1912. Title: Re: Best Third Party showings (county-wise) Post by: Burn baby, Burn on September 13, 2005, 03:43:20 PM Wallace, Thurmond, Perot. LaFollete as a progressive in 1924. Weaver as a populst in 1892. Bell had a good showing in 1860, but almost all the counties he won were won, by the same margin, but fillmore in 1856. Fillmore in 1856 did well too, but almost all the counties he won were won, by the same margin, by the whigs. Argubally Bell was the last whig. The Anti-Masonics did well in 1832. In the first election where people voted widley, there were four major candidates, Crawford and Clay being the 2 smaller ones. but the best showing was T.Roosevelt as a progressive in 1912, who finished second in both popular vote, and electoral vote, buring his former vice president, and current sitting president, Taft.
