Hardcore Republican. Even back in the ole days of the Great Depression Tulsa has been a Republican stronghold.

1964: Goldwater (R)
1968: Nixon (R)
1972: Nixon (R)

Oklahoma County, OK (where I live now):

1960: Nixon (R)
1964: Johnson (D)
1968: Nixon (R)
1972: Nixon (R)
1976: Ford (R)
1980: Reagan (R)
1984: Reagan (R)
1988: HW Bush (R)
1992: HW Bush (R)
1996: Dole (R)
2000: W. Bush (R)
2004: W. Bush (R)
2008: McCain (R)

What I find odd about Oklahoma is that the urban areas have a history of being more Republican and the rural areas have a history of going Democrat. Granted alot of the rural areas that go Dem are near Arkansas, but still is pretty odd.

I have a question…

I have a relative in Larimer County, Colorado where Fort Collins is the county seat. According to records here, Larimer has voted for the candidate who has carried Colorado in all elections since 1960, the furthest back this site tracks.

Does anyone know, or suspect, whether Larimer County has voted for the candidate who carried Colo. ever since the state entered the union (and got the vote) in 1876?

Larimer failed to go with the Colorado statewide winner in 1908, 1932, and 1948.

I believe you. But I wish I could verify this as well. For three times since 1876 … well, that is impressive.

Thank you!

IIRC the rural counties in Oklahoma which are close to Arkansas or Texas are mining areas and used to be Socialist strongholds in the 1900s. Quite interesting area.

Lancaster County NE has traditionally been a republican stronghold, with the exception of the 1936 and 1964 landslide elections. The county, particularly the city of Lincoln, has moved slowly leftward since the 1960's though and the defection of moderate republicans hurt McCain in '08.

I used to have family in Lane Co, OR. Nixon, Reagan 80 and Mondale 84 won by 2 pts or less. Since then it's been pretty solid Dem/Green.

What I find strange is that my home county was a major hub of lumbering in the 19th century and of auto manufacturing in the 20th century.  Although I always understood that lumbermen mostly voted Republican and auto workers mostly voted Democrat during that time, the data don't seem to show that here.

I'm sure there are a number of them in Texas, since that was the only state that went for Humphrey in '68 and Bush in '92.
