Help Regarding Republican and Democratic National Conventions

[Ariosto]

I haven't been on this board for a while, so I am unsure as to where this should go.

Anyway, I am starting to write a story of sorts, but I need information on the state delegations from 1916 to 1968 and how they voted at the National Conventions for both Parties (I only need 64 and 68 for the story, but the rest would be nice). There are sources I have found that give me the overall results, but mine are going to be different from OTL. Any information on the 1964 Democratic Primaries would also be appreciated (the actual results by every state that held a primary. I know what states and who won them, but only the dates and results of three).

I actually found state-by-state delegate vote total from the National Conventions in a book at my University's library. I'll see if I can post 1964 and 1968 for you (it didn't include the 1964 Democratic convention though) later today.

Thanks for your help. I have searched databases before, and I did find a University that had the information, but it was unfortunately on the other side of the country. Ironically though, it is the 1964 Democratic Convention that I most need. I would think that information like this would be more accessible.

What University are you at by the way?

There is a similar book at my college's library which contains results from 1836-1972 or so, including votes on particular resolutions on the floor of the conventions, if you'd be interested in that.

If you could put up the information on the state delegations in the 1964 Democratic Convention and how they voted, that would be great. Can you tell me the name of the book? I may just end up entering all that information into Wikipedia or something just so that there is a permanent resource on the internet in regard to that.

And thanks again realisticidealist, those spreadsheets are going to come in handy.

I just looked up some info on the 1964 Democratic Convention, and it appears that Johnson was nominated by acclamation without a vote being taken.

That would make sense. Well, is there any information on the state delegations themselves? I just need to know how many and from what state.

Thanks, I'll do the calculations tomorrow. What I may do is keep the super-delegates separate; that, or I'll divvy them up  somehow.
