Why did Bush's vote in Massachusetts rise almost five percent (31% to 36%) and in Rhode Island by seven percent (31% to 38%)?
If anything Kerry should have been winning these states by 2-1 margins over Bush, especially as the rest of the vote in 2000 went to Nader.
So why did Bush improve his margin in Massachusetts, in Kerry's home state and the most liberal in the nation, and in Rhode Island, where the Democratic share of the vote declined marginally? Given that the remaining 5%-7% were Nader voters, did they back Bush? If so, why?
