counties with lopsided party registration numbers.

[WalterMitty]

what are some of the more lopsided county voter registration numbers?

i know some west va counties such as logan and mcdowell have huge democrat registration majorities.  im sure there are some more appropriate examples out there.

Just off the top of my head, Democrats outnumber Republicans in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma, 87% to 8% as of January.  Bush got 60% there.

[J. J.]

Greene County, PA is more than 80% D, IIRC.  It's actually more Democratic (proportional) than Phila.

Greene was 67-26 Democratic as of last November.  Phila was 76-15.  It's also outdone by Fayette (69-24).

Greene County, PA is more than 80% D, IIRC.  It's actually more Democratic (proportional) than Phila.

And it actually voted for Bush by 50%-49% in 2004.

So was I.  Those are registration statistics.  Pennsylvania releases them bi-yearly, in November and May.  November 2007's are the most recent, and those are the ones I quoted.

Greene may have been more Democratic than Philadelphia at one time, but it's not anywhere near close at this point.

mcdowell county wv:

83% democrat
8% republican

logan county wv:
86% democrat
9% republican

mingo county wv:
86% democrat
9% republican

then you move on to another part of the great state of wv...and you get:

grant county wv:
69% republican
17% democrat

[WalterMitty]

not counties...but towns:

provincetown ma:
56% democrat
3% republican

cambridge ma:
59% democrat
5% republican

somerville ma:
56% democrat
5% republican

What are the most GOP towns in MA, registration-wise?  Excluding the ones with like 100 people, if there are any.

off the top of my head, i know there are a few smalli-ish towns on the cape with small pluralities of registered republicans,...chatham and orleans come to mind.

also there are some towns in plymouth county like duxbury, which have a small pluralities of republicans.

ive noticed a lot of the suburban...more republican friendly towns have very large pluralities of 'unenrolleds'.  many republicans, like myself, register as an indy so we can participate in primaries (since there are rarely any significant republican primaries in the state)

ive been a life long republican...and up until recently i was a registered republican from the time i first registered to vote in 1996.

i still consider myself a republican, even though i have some serious disagreements with the party.

The Bronx

California doesn't have any counties nearly as lopsided as the ones you guys are posting.

Highest Democratic registration: Alameda County, 56.64% D - 16.47% R
Highest Republican registration: Placer County, 50.10% R - 29.37% D

Of course, the vote totals are much different than the registration statistics.

[Verily]

We're not the most partisan, but probably pretty high up for Independent registration:

Bergen County, NJ
60.1% Independent
20.7% Democratic
19.2% Republican

Edit: Somerset County, NJ is slightly more Independent, 62.1%, and Monmouth County, NJ is 64.8% Independent.

We need a national county map (or maybe a part of the atlas) with party registration stats.

Every county in Tennessee is technically 100% Independent registration

Elliott County, KY is overwhelmingly Democratic by party registration, though I'm not sure the actual numbers.

Just off the top of my head, Democrats outnumber Republicans in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma, 87% to 8% as of January.  Bush got 60% there.

It does seem like many (possibly a majority) of rural white counties with Democratic registration voted for Bush. I don't mean to hijack this thread, but does anyone know of any plurality Republican counties that voted for Kerry?

[WalterMitty]

anyone have a guess as to why the percentage of independents is much lower in west virginia than it is in other states?

Washington County, Oregon, is the only one that comes to mind at the moment.

It's 46-to-1 Democratic.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Also, I think Martin County, KY, has a huge Republican registration advantage, but Bill Clinton carried it in 1996.
