I noticed these stats for the three Mississippi counties of Claiborne, Holmes and Jefferson.
Claiborne County, MS
1964
Goldwater = 93.6%
Johnson = 6.4%
1972
McGovern = 57.0%
Nixon = 41.8%
1984
Mondale = 70.9%
Reagan = 28.9%
Holmes County, MS
1964
Goldwater = 96.6%
Johnson = 3.4%
1972
McGovern = 51.7%
Nixon = 47.2%
1984
Mondale = 64.4%
Reagan = 35.4%
Jefferson County, MS
1964
Goldwater = 94.8%
Johnson = 5.2%
1972
McGovern = 55.9%
Nixon = 43.4%
1984
Mondale = 77.9%
Reagan = 21.9%
Now I'm the first to admit that I know very little about Mississippi politics, but still: WTF? Did those three counties just not read any newspapers in those years?
