Democratic Presidential Primaries in Southern States

Doesn't look like Wolfe won a district. I don't know the relative votes of the counties, but the fact the counties appear to be fairly evenly mixed throughout the state, combined with Obama's reasonably high percentage margin statewide, makes it unlikely. I think AR-04 was probably closest.

Oooooh, he did...
I've found a site that provides the data for congressional districts:



1st CD:  50.68% for Wolfe
2nd CD: 77.09% for Obama
3rd CD:  78.50% for Obama
4th CD:  50.58% for Obama

It seems like AR-01 was the only congressional district nation-wide that he didn't win during the primary season.

Wow, that's a lot more heterogeneous than I thought.

Kind of amazing that there's a county in the US where over 3/4 of the Democratic primary voters voted against Obama. I'm curious to know what its recent electoral history was like.

Sevier County

2012: 72% Romney, 24% Obama
2008 - 68% McCain, 28% Obama
2004 - 54% Bush, 44% Kerry
2000 - 49% Bush, 49% Gore

As expected, a large R->D swing, but honestly somewhat less than I thought. I thought Gore would have comfortably won in a place like that.
