Interesting information for this county.  I wonder if the same situation can also explain the high # of Socialist/Communist votes in other states (didn't NV cast a high percentage of Socialist votes about this time)?

I find the results for Alachua since 1960 interesting as well.  In 1960, the county went for Nixon, while surrounded by a sea of JFK counties on the panhandle!

Jump to 1968.  Alachua was one of only three counties in FL to go for Humphrey.  It was surrounded by a sea of Wallace counties on the panhandle.

Jump to 2000 and 2004.  Alachua voted Dem among a sea of Bush counties!

Any explanations for these trends in Alachua since 1960?

Thanks for the explanation about Alachua.

What about Leon County?  Besides housing the state capitol, what makes it so Democratic in the GOP panhandle?
