No, there's usually some boroughs to the north, west, or southeast that vote D due to native Americans. Here's John McCain's borough map, he won 59-38

If I had to guess, Gore would win one or two boroughs, although getting that low % of the vote could definitely lead people to think this.

Actually, Republicans have been historically fairly strong with Alaska Natives.

I said no, but looking at the Fuzzy's maps here it looks like Bush probably did, since even the house districts on the West coast and Juneau area went for him. 

The big swing in Denali between 2000 and 2004 is really something - I wonder what that's about?

I believe that map is actually of state legislative districts, which are what Alaska actually reports. It is fairly like that Bush won, but a tiny town in SE Alaska could have snuck by.

You can also see the horribly gerrymandered 2012 lines!

Apologies for being that guy who bumps old threads, but why did Nader do well here?

Lots of environmentalists in Juneau and the "spoiler" charge doesn't work in this state for obvious reasons. I suspect Winona LaDuke helped Nader a lot with indigenous voters as well.

This is another bump of an old thread, but Bush did not win every borough in Alaska. Gore won Bethel Census Area 46.4-42.1%.
