The last regional election held before Hitler took over

[rob in cal]

A few years ago I posted a question of whether anyone had any info on the Thuringian local council elections held on December 4, 1932, one month after the November 32 Reichstag election and two months before Hitler was named Chancellor.  I finally found the detailed results, courtesy of a link from a Thuringian historian.  I can't seem to post links right now on my computer, but the book is basically a Thuringian history archive and its online.

Anyway, these elections were held throughout Thuringia, for city councils, and county councils.  In every district the Nazis, Socialists and Communists put up electoral lists.  In bigger cities like Gera, Weimar and Jena there were lots of other parties as well.  In smaller areas sometime just the big three plus a unity list appealing to voters of the smaller center and center right parties was on the ballot.
The source doesn't give percentages for the December vote, so I've done that for the Nazi vote statewide.  Their vote percentage went down from 37.8 in Thuringia for the Reichstag election, to 32.9 for these elections. A similar decline nationwide would see their vote go to 28%, as they won 33% nationwide in the Reichstag election.
This five percent decline also shows up, or thereabouts, in the Lubeck election held one week after the Reichstag vote.
Clearly the Nazi bandwagon was running into some problems, but was hardly in free fall decline either.  I haven't done the numbers for the left parties, but a couple of partial comparisons so far of a few counties and cities hasn't shown a big change in total vote for the left compared to the November vote, so it stands to reason that voters were moving back to other parties in the center and the right from the NSDAP.  More likely would have had these smaller parties, such as Nationalists, the Peoples, the State Party, the Zentrum etc run throughout the state rather than in just a few places in the December vote.  Still, at least in every district there was always a non-NSDAP, non-left alternative of some sort.
I'll post the overall left-wing vote % later, and other interesting tidbits.
