County Equivalent Maps:

1972:

I might note that the North Slope Borough would have been amongst McGovern’s best county-equivalents – if he got over sixty percent it would be rivalled only by:

Checking the figures, North Slope would have been McGovern’s eleventh-strongest county-equivalent by margin – given its majority-minority status, not remarkable of course as six of then ten above it and the District of Columbia are also majority-minority.

Looking at the results table, Wade-Hampton’s shift from McGovern to Ford was replicated in the Lower 48 only by:

• Pitkin County, Colorado
• Washtenaw County, Michigan
• Clay County, South Dakota
