Kennedy underperformed almost everywhere outside New England in 1960. Even Michigan and Minnesota were awfully close despite the huge labor presence in both states. The anti-Catholicism was very real.

Also where are all these anti-war voters in Wisconsin supposedly concentrated? It wasn't California. I mean which is it, they're a bunch of "law and order" right-wingers or a bunch of anti-war hippies?

1972 had a large expansion of the electorate with Boomers entering the electorate and the 26th Amendment. University of Wisconsin-Madison was a particularly notorious center of anti-war activities.
