County maps for interesting candidates

[minionofmidas]

Communitarian-land didn't seem to like Perot all that much.

ie the South, New Mexico, the Rio Grande Valley, and NYC?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Interesting thing about the New York metro area, is that his %'s got smaller the closer you got into the city itself.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

This took a while, but the patterns are very interesting (and often quite suprising)...

The next two maps will be of the other two candidates in '68; which due to the heightened class/sectional/racial/etc divisions of the time is a very revealing election indeed...

I'm always surprised at how well Wallace ran in Idaho and Nevada.

The strange thing about his Nevada county results, is how similer they are to Perot's. And the interesting thing about his Idaho county results is how different they are to Schmitz's in places.

That's... odd. Any reason why?

It would be interesting to see the map of support for militia leader Bo Gritz's presidential run in 1992. He was only on the ballot in Utah, Idaho, and Montana iirc.. but he did very well in a handful of counties. He came this close to displacing Clinton for third place in Franklin, Idaho.

No idea.

Here you go:



Only states in which he polled over 3% in any county were Utah and Idaho.

[Rob]

You rock

[Colin]

Well that's because Bo Gritz was a Mormon so he did best in Utah and Mormon dominant Eastern Idaho.

Another odd thing from the Wallace map. Did Wallace win over 15% in Lake and Porter counties in Indiana? I know that Lake is the home of Gary, Indiana the first majority black city in the North, or the first to elect a black mayor in the North IIRC. I am guessing that these higher totals are probably due to the black migration into Gary and other Northeastern Indiana suburbs from the Chicago area and White reaction to that.

Yes he did; 16% in Lake, 18% in Porter.

That was probably a factor... IIRC there was actually a study done on voting patterns in the area in '68. I think I've got, part, of a summary of it somewhere...

He was also a bit higher in Will, IL.

Yeah, pretty much those areas o/c no one's ever done a real in-depth survey of the various areas the four big ideological groupings do well in...

Nixon in '68 now:

Quite a traditional Republican map in some ways.

True, that's why I can't understand why the media often labeled his campaign as "populist."

Because the media is dominated by a bunch of rather dim left-liberals who have a hard time grasping two points of view, much less three or four, and they have a poor understanding of ideology in general.

Because the 'populist' ideology is a misnomer.

Thus why I used the word 'communitarian', O libertarian

When you finish the Humphrey map (or whenever you have time), one for Henry Wallace's Progressive run in 1948 would be nice.

But it wasn't even really 'populist' in style either.

Oh, sure

[Rob]

Much appreciated.

He polled above 2% in a handful of counties elsewhere, but it's not really mappable.

HHH nearly done.

Well, if you could possibly have time, I would like to see a Parley P. Christensen and Ed Clark map... Thanks.
