I will have the 80's and 70's done today.

[Dave from Michigan]

state house 1982-1990 starting with 1982. I have decided to do it this way. Also the districts in the northern lower peninsula that are labeled 18 and 19, when everyone else are in the high 90's and low 100's, are correct even though they are way out of place.

detailed maps to come.

[Dave from Michigan]

also some of the state representatives that would go on to congress or beyond are Dave Camp, Tim Walberg, Bart Stupek and Debbie Stabenow. There could be more when I do the detail maps. I should have been doing this for all the maps.

Here is something different from the Michigan state house/senate maps.

here is the 1976 Presidential election results for Metro Detroit area by cities and townships.

[Dave from Michigan]

here is 1980 presidential vote by city and townships for Metro Detroit.

[Dave from Michigan]

here is 1964 I need to do a shaded republican map. There are a few over 40% cities/townships.

[Dave from Michigan]

Here is a very special treat, a map of the 1868 presidential election by city/township for metro Detroit

I had to hand edit these maps since most cities didn't exist back then. Detroit, Pontiac and Wyandotte were the only cities. Also Detroit was a lot smaller in size and several townships that don't exist did. I did my best to recreate them.

These results were in the 1869-70 Michigan Manual. The 1872 election results are also available (in the 1873-74 Manual) and I will make that map next. But that is the last of the Michigan election results for president by city and township in the Michigan Manual. Also there are no results before 1868 that I can find.

I couldn't tell the geographical size of Pontiac and Wyandotte back then so I make Pontiac a little smaller but left Wyandotte with the current boundaries.

[Dave from Michigan]

If anyone cares here are the townships/cities

the townships and cities in Wayne county starting in the northwest corner and going east are

Plymouth, Livonia, Redford, Greenfield, Hamtramck, grosse Pointe

Below Plymouth going east: Canton Nankin, Dearborn, Springwells, Detroit

Below Canton going east: Van Buren, Romulus, Taylor, Ecorse (Wyandotte came from Ecorse)

Below Van Buren: Sumpter, Huron, Brownstown, Monguagon.

here is 1872 by city and township for metro Detroit. This is all I have for now as far as presidential results below county level for Metro Detroit. 1972 and 1984 could be coming later by the end of the week maybe.

[Dave from Michigan]

I'm currently working on city/township results for state elections from 1998-present, and possibly with governor's races as far as they go.  Great job on your maps!

thanks, so you are going to do presidential vote by city/township post 1998 and city/township maps for governor elections? I'm just wondering so I don't accidentally do the same thing as you. I wasn't planning on doing any of those elections anyway so we should be good. Do you have a statewide city/township map that you are going to use?

[Dave from Michigan]

Here is 1980 by city/township map with congress districts over it. I had to delete the Detroit ones because the data I have for 1980 was organized by city and township and not by congressional district then city and township. There are only 6 splits including Detroit. I only have the total vote for all of Detroit. Livonia is split into 2 districts but it voted heavily for Reagan so I'm assuming both parts went Republican, same with Avon township. But Warren was close (Reagan won it by 3K votes) and Southgate was close, Carter won it by 200 votes so they are gray. hopefully this isn't too confusing.

[Dave from Michigan]

I should have just left the Detroit lines on the map. Carter almost surely won all of the Detroit parts of the Congress districts. Ford actually came within 5,000 votes of winning the Detroit part of the 14th district in 1976 (he won the whole thing). But by 1980 The city of Detroit was 66% black as opposed to 56% white in 1970. I'm certain that enough black voters are in the 14th in 1980 to easily give it to Carter. Nixon in 1972 is most likely the last Republican to win the Detroit part of a congress district, probably the 14th and maybe the 17th.

[Dave from Michigan]

I'm currently working on a swing map for 1976 to 1980. Should be posted later.
