So since I've got some free time on my hands, I'm going to do some maps of an (IMO) underappreciated part of American political geography: results of third-party candidates.

To kick things off, here's a map of the third-place candidate in 2012 in California:

Green is Jill Stein and Yellow is Gary Johnson. Obvs pattern is obvs, although I'm a little bit surprised by Sierra county (but there were like 20 votes there for each of them) and Santa Cruz (Johnson edged out Stein by .1%, would have thought she'd win this). Alpine and Sonoma were an exact tie between Johnson and Stein.

More stuff coming.

Another quickie: Jill Stein 2012 in California:



Stein gets stronger as you go North and towards the Coast. The scale is by .25%, so the light yellow-green is regions where Stein got >.25%, then >.5%, etc. The exception to this is Humboldt and Mendocino; Stein got 2.9% and 4.4% there, respectively, while the best she did other places is around 1.5% (that's what she got in SF and Santa Cruz, for example) so they really stand out even more than they do on this map. The pot vote is strong Tongue

Something a little different, Virginia 2012 3rd place:



Purple is Goode and Yellow is Johnson. Grey is Goode/Johnson tie. Stein didn't get third anywhere, though she was fourth ahead of Goode in NoVA and plenty of other places.

Here's Massachusetts. Suffolk County (Boston) was very close. Vermont would have been a fun state to do, but sadly Stein wasn't on the ballot there.

Utah:


Pink is Rocky Anderson. I'm actually a little surprised by this. I though Anderson would get more than Johnson in Salt Lake county and maybe Summit but he was behind by a good margin in both. Only place where Anderson got 3rd was Grand co (Moab), where he beat out Johnson by 7 votes Tongue

Do you know what state the Greens performed best in in 2012?

And btw, great job to everyone who is doing these maps. They are very interesting.

You're welcome. Stein's best state was Maine.

Now, for something totally different:

The total vote for "Other" (non-Bloomberg and Thompson) in the NYC Mayor's Race 2009, by pre-2012 NY Assembly district:


Color grading is by 1%, so the lightest purple is 1%, then 2%, etc.

This is mostly a map of the vote for the Conservative Party. They got more votes than all the "other other" candidates combined. There may be a little bit of Green support in there in places like Lower Manhattan. Staten Island and Hasidic Jewish areas obviously have the most, while poor minority areas have the least. The one weird result is that one district straddling the Brooklyn/Queens boundary where "other" got 10%, by far the highest anywhere. That district also voted for Thompson and AFAIK it's not a major Hasidic area. Maybe someone who knows NYC better could explain.

Here's the New York Times page where the results came from.

I once had a third party primary results thread. I should re-boot that.

2012 is a lot less fun. Johnson and Stein are the only two candidates to get third place (and again, OK is just Obama vs. Romney)

Thanks for the comments and help everyone! I'm thinking that eventually I'll put together a 2012 national third-place by county map, with the help that people have been giving.

Anyway, here's Gary Johnson 2012 by county, California:


One thing that stands out is Johnson voters were much more evenly distributed than Stein voters. Almost everywhere Johnson got between .75% and 1.5% (total 1.1% statewide). The stoner vote shows up once again here, but in different ways. Johnson's strongest counties were Trinity (just inland from Humboldt on the Emerald Coast) and Santa Cruz. This map also makes me think Johnson did badly among minorites, since his weakest areas (Imperial County, Alameda, Central Valley, etc) are all areas with big minority populations.

So Johnson's strong points were in Silicon Valley and weed growing areas. Not at all surprising. Tongue

Santa Cruz isn't Silicon valley. Silicon valley is Santa Clara/San Mateo, where Johnson did slightly below average. Santa Cruz is much more "alternative".

To round out the West Coast, Washington 3rd place:


Not much to say here, other than that Johnson did very well in WA. Maybe the marijuana/gay marriage referendums brought out a lot of libertarians. Stein got Jefferson County, "Write-ins" beat Johnson in Stevens County, and Johnson got 3rd everywhere else.
