I'm sure there's more good examples.
German Catholic counties in Wisconsin:
Jefferson County 1912- 62.4 percent Democratic
Jefferson County 1916- 47.7 percent Democratic
Ozaukee County 1912- 63.3 percent Democratic
Ozaukee County 1916- 48.4 percent Democratic
Dodge County 1912- 60.0 percent Democratic
Dodge County 1916- 46.8 percent Democratic
Yeah, I think it's safe to say that Wilson alienated ethnics.
And each one of those counties had a huge dive for the Dems in 1920.
Then they both went back to the Dems for Al Smith and for FDR. Before shifting towards Willkie.
Do you think there's also a German thing involved with the strong shifts towards Eisenhower?
And, which catagories do these counties fall under
Brown County, WI (Wilson gained in 1916, Cox got crushed, Smith won, FDR won 3 times, and JFK won with a 21 point shift)
Lincoln County, WI (Wilson lost almost 17 points between '12 and '16, Cox was crushed, Smith did well, FDR won twice)
