An official at the Connecticut SOTS office seems to be annoyed with me already for calling her office so many times requesting election results and pointing out mistakes in election reports. I may actually have to go to Hartford sometime soon rather than keep calling and e-mailing.

Here's a neat map. This is from the election in which Peter Welch faced no Republican opposition. While most of the strength of the individual candidates is due to geographical proximity, some variation is due to cultural difference. The Progressive candidate was from Barre, yet he won Brattleboro and the surrounding towns. Mike Bethel did well along the Connecticut River and Lake Champlain, primarily in towns more likely to vote Republican than Democratic. Most of the towns in Addison, Orange, Essex and Chittenden Counties with no third-party favorite sons featured contests between Trudell and Bethel, the two most moderate candidates, who likely attracted the Republican vote not willing to support Welch.

They lost only one seat - District 31 in Bristol - in the entire state. They lost another in a February 2011 special election when Democratic Sen. Gaffey resigned after his criminal conviction. But compare that to 1974 on the map above, when Democrats defeated 8 Republican incumbents and took 8 more Republican-held open seats, taking them from 13 seats to 29 in the 36-member Senate.

Why is eastern CT much more Democratic than western CT?

IIRC, western Connecticut has a lot of New York City suburbs and exurbs that tend to be more Republican and wealthier. Eastern Connecticut is more working class like Rhode Island or nearby areas of Massachusetts. I'm sure homely knows more.

Fairfield County is easy: rich people live there.

Litchfield County, I guess, is more akin to upstate New York: rural and traditionally Republican.

IIRC, western Connecticut has a lot of New York City suburbs and exurbs that tend to be more Republican and wealthier. Eastern Connecticut is more working class like Rhode Island or nearby areas of Massachusetts. I'm sure homely knows more.

That's reasonably accurate. Keep in mind a basic geographic fact, too: the Connecticut River divides the state along a north-south axis. There are only four road bridges over the river south of Hartford. We also should recognize that Connecticut's east is by no means equal to its west. Only one in four or five Connecticut residents lives east of the river, and a huge majority of the state's economic activity takes place west of it. Of Connecticut's twenty largest cities, only two (Manchester and East Hartford - both satellites of Hartford) lie east of the Connecticut. So from the start, the electoral influence of the east is quite marginal

Prior to 1990, political geography in both the east and west was determined much more by the urban-rural cleavage than by regional factors. Republicans could count on winning numerous rural towns where farming remained the dominant economic activity as a matter of tradition, and Democrats took the old industrial cities, mill towns and small suburban communities.

But then Lowell Weicker was elected. The year 1990 sparked a total transformation of Connecticut's politics, and from looking back to this time, I think I can say that these are the factors that make Eastern CT a more Democratic region:

1. As realistic said, the exurbs and wealthy communities are the principal factor. Wealth is a major factor in politics west of the river, where much of the economic activity is very white-collar. The only communities which could be considered "wealthy" that lie east of the river are Stonington and Old Lyme, both of which pale in comparison to mega-rich Darien, Greenwich and New Canaan.

2. The Republicans have very few figures of statewide renown who live east of the river. Rob Simmons was the only one for a time, but his political efforts met with defeat in '06. Nearly all of them - Rowland, Rell, Johnson, Shays, Foley, McMahon, Orchulli, Debicella, Boughton, etc. - live on the other side, especially in Fairfield and New Haven counties. The current Democratic Lieutenant Governor of CT, on the other hand, is from Tolland; the (Democratic) Secretary of the State is from Mansfield, and the President of the (Democrat-controlled) Senate is from Thompson.

3. The economy is notoriously weak east of the river, and many livelihoods there are dependent not upon private enterprise but public investment. The collapse of the textile industry hit urban communities hard here, and as Connecticut's Republicans became more and more fervently anti-tax, voting for Democrats and for state investment into local industries seemed like an economic necessity. Poor economic conditions have served to unite, in many cases, the minority populations of Connecticut's urban areas with the white populations of decaying mill towns in support for the Democrats.

4. Culture is also very important. Aside from a few localities on the east side of Hartford, the East has very few cities and remains very rural. Huge swaths of land retain their pastoral character - suburban sprawl is surprisingly limited - and residents out in the East want to keep it that way. Sprawl is a major problem west of the river in the periphery of New Haven, the Gold Coast, Hartford and Waterbury, and the Democrats in the state tend to identify with more rigid land-use laws and environmental regulations.

5. Lowell Weicker encouraged many of the small-town, old-style, agrarian Republicans more in line politically with Taft's strain of conservatism than Goldwater's to turn away from the Fairfield County - centric and wealth-fueled politics of Rowland's 1990s Republican coalition. The practice of cross-endorsement by the ACP enabled many Republicans to support Democratic candidates for legislative offices without casting a vote for the Democratic Party and thus wean these voters off of voting Republican. Weicker was helped in no small part in this regard by his support for casino gambling.

Does that help? This is likely going to be a topic, at least in part, of my undergraduate thesis, so I hope it's right! :P

In part, yes, but let's be careful: Litchfield actually is home to some of Connecticut's most Democratic towns, and Republican support out there is coming increasingly from large towns than from rural communities. The upper Housatonic is home to many culturally-liberal NYC emigres and resembles Western Massachusetts in its politics: a high support for Nader, a vibrant cultural life in art and music, and (recognition of, respect for and defense of) the area's great scenic beauty.

Torrington, once a reliably Democratic bastion, is increasingly voting Republican. There's a lot of enthusiasm there for the very young, intelligent mayor Ryan Bingham, and the high Italian population there can no longer be counted as solidly Democratic by virtue of ethnic identity or past economic disadvantage. A lot of the other towns which were once, as you said, traditional in their support for agrarianism and old Conservative Republicans, now have many thousands of residents and serve as bedroom communities for the cities just beyond the borders of the county (Hartford, Danbury, Waterbury), etc.

The French presence isn't surprising.
There was a big immigration from Quebec to New England at the end of the 1800's, caused by bad years in agriculture. They moved in new England to work in the factories.

There is many of them too in Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire.
Sure, they forgot French language, but that is still visible in family names (i.e. Governor LePage in Maine).


Title: Re: Homely's new maps thread

You're right, but it's surprising to see a 19th century distribution of French (near the Quinebaug River and its mill towns) so strongly segregated by geography. I would have expected a much more even distribution.

Clinton is not too exciting, districts within a town tend to be homogeneous. Interesting to see that Rouses Point voted >70% for Cuomo.

Jefferson exhibits a really interesting village-rural cleavage. The town centers seem to be voting around 10% more Democratic than the pastoral areas in general.

In both, a stronger vote for Democrats closer to Canada and in the major "urban" centers.

The vastness of the geographical and cultural difference between Western New York and metropolitan NYC was revealed by the presence of a unique candidate from the former region. This salient and powerful cleavage just doesn't play a role in nationwide races or even in statewide races where both candidates are from the Albany region or metro NYC. Thomas DiNapoli, for one, had a stronger performance in Niagara and Erie Counties than Cuomo despite underperforming him on the statewide level by more than ten points.

Unsurprising that Gillibrand cleaned up; she lives in Brunswick. Though, what's with Poestenkill, Grafton, and Pittstown? The Republican pocket of strength in Nassau in the other races is also a little curious, as is Paladino's apparent relative strength in Brunswick and Schaghticoke.

Yeah, from a sense that the government in Albany, which is dominated by politicians from NYC, Long Island and Westchester County, is out of touch with the often rural and quite conservative upstate and West. Much of this is right-wing skepticism of the welfare state and the overall political culture of urban, machine and minority politics. It's a feeling that transcends party, as the 2010 election seemed to show. I didn't see, however, many blacks in Buffalo vote for Paladino, so it's not that strong.

The abstract regional issues are important, but I don't think they explain on their own why the difference was so large. Paladino had unusually differing images inside his home region and outside it, due to his unusual history and bizarre gubernatorial campaign. Even though he hadn't held elected office, he was well-known in Buffalo even among the relatively apolitical due to his championing of consumer-protection-type causes with a strongly populist and mostly nonpartisan appeal, such as his campaign against highway tolls and his lawsuit to try to lower electrical bills. But then voters in the rest of the state knew none of this and just saw his racist e-mails, homophobic remarks, threatening of reporters, etc.

This is exactly it, actually.  Western New York, particularly Erie and Niagara Counties feel so disconnected from downstate.  Buffalo is the second biggest city in New York State, and Western New Yorkers tend to feel like Albany completely ignores it.  Niagara Falls sits as one of the nations greatest natural landmarks, and Western New Yorkers feel like Albany ignores it.

The important thing to note about WNY, is that the people here are so used to dissapointment.  Businesses promise to come here, and we even offer pretty generous tax credits, and in the end, it falls through almost every time.  Politicians promise significant state funding for this tourist program, and development, and in the end, many people here feel betrayed and ignored.

When Paladino came around, his consistent message was that he did business in WNY and he believed in WNY.  The idea that WNY could have a Governor that directly (well, more directly than his opponents) understood our grievance, was attractive.  Mind you, the Buffalo News did a piece portraying Paladino as a vulture waiting to buy out real-estate for development.  However, the pick of a "true" WNY'er, over the son of Mario Cuomo who resided downstate, became more attractive to most people in this area.  That being said, I still voted for Cuomo :P

I have a spreadsheet on my computer with complete precinct results from these races from all counties except NYC and Nassau. I theoretically could make a precinct map of the entire state, but it's just way too much work.

In that case I can only offer you a town map, sorry. I was referring to results from New York.

Hmm. How about a Rensselaer map of the 2000 Senatorial and Presidential?

Homely's famous NY town maps, now re-whipped and 5% scaled:

2010 Gubernatorial: Cuomo vs Paladino

2010 Comptroller: DiNapoli vs Wilson

2010 Attorney General: Schneiderman vs Donovan

Wow, DiNapoli really underperformed compared to Cuomo.  Was that due to anti-Paterson sentiment or something?


And awesome work.  May the five percent live on! :D

DiNapoli got the job of Comptroller by accident after the Hevesi scandal. He's sort of an odd character in that he has very poor name recognition (represented a Nassau County district for 20 years in the state House - no one knows who the hell he is upstate), and he serves in an office that no one cares about. He's a bit more animated and charismatic as a speaker than more politicians, but he failed to make a name for himself in the years that he served after his appointment and exposed himself to a very strong Republican candidate in Harry Wilson (born in Fulton County).

Post by: homelycooking on February 04, 2012, 03:25:16 PM
Why does it appear as if hippies, college students and the like were the only ones to vote WF in big numbers?

Because the WFP is more of a pressure group than a political party. Their principal tactic is to lend (or deprive) electoral support from Democrats or Republicans through extensive use of electoral fusion. So, most people who vote WFP are both well-informed enough to understand what the party is trying to accomplish with fusion and far enough to the left ideologically to value the WFP's goal of pushing politics in a more progressive direction.

It is a silly name, though in my corner of Northern New York I know a number of people who almost always vote on that party line. Ironically, most party supporters who I know derive a large portion of their income from some kind of public assistance.

What county/city/town do you live in?

Ever heard of Woodstock? It's in the central part of the county. The area has long been a popular meeting place for artistic and bohemian types.

Woodstock is in the north of Ulster County - it borders Greene County. It's filled in with the darkest shade because it had the second highest WFP vote in New York at 12.8%. Only the city of Ithaca had a greater percentage (14.1%)

Title: Re: Homely's new maps thread
Post by: homelycooking on February 11, 2012, 03:56:40 PM

That's the extra-special feature. In those CDs there was a Democrat running unopposed. Rather than color every town in with the darkest shade of red, I calculated the percentage of the Democratic candidate against the total number of ballots cast - elsewhere the R/D candidates' percentages are calculated against the total number of valid ballots cast - and colored the towns accordingly, shading them in purple to distinguish from the districts where a Democrat won every town but ran with Republican opposition.

You're right. I hack it with JPG screenshots from Dave's Redistricting.

To Averroes: Keep in mind that Clinton did really well all across the state of New York, and that some counties, especially Jefferson and St. Lawrence, will just be colored in with lots of 60% and 70% shades. The Republican map is especially boring.

Well, most of the shades of red and blue we use aren't available on DRA.

It's no longer home to the "Connecticut Agricultural College"... ;) You'll notice that the New Left movement (and the Civil Rights movement, and the Vietnam War...) kicked in just as Mansfield was moving rapidly to solid Democratic territory.

And that isn't even the strongest R-to-D shift in CT. Stay tuned.

It looks like it's matching the area to the north in MA that went from R in the 80's to uniformly D today. Similarly I see a trend in NE CT that seems to match exurban trends in MA that is near to Scott Brown's home area.

Wow, look at Cornwall. From R+26 to D+21. Litchfield County as a whole has been shifting Republican, though, because of diminished strength for Democrats in the old industrial towns (with the largest populations).

The peculiar thing about this map is that it was a tight contest between Lieberman and Weicker in almost every town. There were only about a dozen towns above 60% for either of the candidates.

You can see from comparing these two maps that the correlation between % white and % McCain gets stronger as one goes south in Delmarva. In the lower 3 counties of Maryland (Wicomico, Somerset, Worcester) and Virginia, the white vote for Obama cannot be much more than 20%. The white population there is either predominantly rural, ancestrally tied to the land, involved in agriculture, and segregated de facto into mostly white communities apart from the black population or located in a few wealthy, upscale beach resorts. In Virginia especially, there is no commuter population ($15 each way on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel!) and the largest town is home to only 3,000. In Kent/New Castle and the Rt. 50 counties near Annapolis, the white vote might be as much as 40% - the communities there are somewhat more suburban, more educated and liberal and more ethnically diverse.

Yes, Homely and I have something of a north/south dichotomy going here with our maps.

The only thing I have on hand from that specific race is Pulaski County. (https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/GALLERY/4344_21_06_12_4_40_39.png) Arkansas is a bit inconvenient in that the precinct data from past elections don't always correspond with the shapefiles I get from DRA.

Title: Re: Homely's new maps thread
Post by: homelycooking on January 16, 2013, 10:44:11 AM
There seems to be a pretty stark contrast between Vermont/Western MA and the neighboring towns in Eastern NY... How comes?

I think the root cause of that is twofold: the political (state-boundary) divide between the communities in Massachusetts and New York and the geographic divide (the Taconic Range).

During settlement and the Early Republic, the difficulty in building transportation links across the mountains meant that Hudson Valley towns and Housatonic Valley towns were able to develop economies and cultures relatively independent of each other. The state boundary only reinforced the divide. Nowadays, the transportation problem has been mitigated, and you start to see Columbia County border towns (Austerlitz, Canaan, Hillsdale) become more Democratic in their voting habits. But still they're nowhere near the Democratic strength in Stockbridge and Great Barrington. That's a testament, I think, to the durability of political culture as well as an indication of the importance of a political boundary in defining people's daily activity spaces and mental geographies.



Title: Re: Homely's new maps thread

Title: Re: Homely's new maps thread
Post by: World politics is up Schmitt creek on January 16, 2013, 04:40:00 PM
The counties on the New York side of the line have as a whole trended, in general, Democratic of late. Columbia County was 47-46 Gore, then 51-47 Kerry, then 56-42 Obama both times (swinging very slightly D in 2012). Of note is that it is now more Democratic than Rensselaer County despite Rensselaer containing the post-industrial city of Troy and Columbia being primarily rural--which, granted, which the exception of some suburbanization in the southwestern part of the county as soon as you get out of spitting distance of the Hudson Rensselaer is too. Rensselaer has gone from 51-43 Gore, to 50-48 Kerry, to 54-44 Obama, to 55-43 Obama.

(Dutchess County also borders Massachusetts, technically, but it's for about two thousand feet and in a completely uninhabited area of wooded mountains southwest of Great Barrington.)

Before 1992 both counties were Republican. In 1992 they split, with Columbia for Bush and Rensselaer for Clinton. Since 1996 they've both been Democratic, but I don't have the exact numbers for 1996.

Local Republicans are still dominant in Rennselaer outside Troy; I'm not sure about Columbia.

You see patterns like this in a lot of rural upstate New York.

The counties on the New York side of the line have as a whole trended, in general, Democratic of late. Columbia County was 47-46 Gore, then 51-47 Kerry, then 56-42 Obama both times (swinging very slightly D in 2012). Of note is that it is now more Democratic than Rensselaer County despite Rensselaer containing the post-industrial city of Troy and Columbia being primarily rural--which, granted, which the exception of some suburbanization in the southwestern part of the county as soon as you get out of spitting distance of the Hudson Rensselaer is too. Rensselear has gone from 51-43 Gore, to 50-48 Kerry, to 54-44 Obama, to 55-43 Obama.

Have you spent much time in the Hudson's rive gauche? How would you compare it to Western Massachusetts in terms of culture, topography, demography, economics? Despite living in north central Connecticut all my life, less than 40 miles from Dutchess on Route 44, I've only been once (Poughkeepsie).

I have; my best friend lives in Rensselaer and I pass through Columbia and Dutchess when traveling between New England and New Jersey, which I do quite often. I would say that that part of New York is roughly comparable, culturally speaking, to western Massachusetts outside the hippified/yuppified/hipsterfied (in that historical order) towns, or the parts of Vermont to which it's closest. A certain amount of hill-folk left-libertarianism has set in and there are more white Buddhists than one might expect for that sort of area, but it's still home to plenty of more conservative types, typically but not always older. Politically it of course votes more Republican (or less Democratic) than east of the Taconics, I imagine partly because of a surprising lack of labor politics for a region that includes Troy. The rive droit is (appropriately!) rather more conservative, with the obviously very large exception of Albany itself. Once you get further down towards Poughkeepsie, however, first it reverses, with the Catskills being far more liberal than the rural parts of Dutchess, and then both banks of the river turn into something more immediately comparable to politics along the middle and upper Connecticut; on the other hand that turns into some very Republican areas further away from the water. People in these areas are somewhat similar to those in Litchfield County, politically and culturally--think Nan Hayworth, with whom I have a longstanding personal beef.

Topographically and demographically the entire region between the Connecticut and Hudson is pretty similar north of a certain point. Very hilly and in the rural areas, which most of it is, very white, although not as white as it used to be. One difference between the Hudson rive gauche and western Massachusetts and Vermont is that west of the Taconic Range there are no further lines of hills equivalent to the Berkshires/Green Mountains and Vermont Piedmont to the east, since the Taconics are much closer to the Hudson than they are to the Connecticut. Instead there's a long, gentle, rolling slope.

Economically there does seem anecdotally to be a bit of a difference, with the New York side being somewhat poorer, but I haven't really looked at any data. Regionally-indicative institutions are by and large the same, with a triumphalist Bank of America interspersed with local or regional savings banks and credit unions and the main convenience stores being Cumberland Farms and Stewart's--although the Stewart's stores on the New York side sell nightcrawlers in bulk during the summer months.

Amazing map. What astounds me is how Pennsylvania and New Hampshire could have nearly identical statewide results even though the maps look totally different. PA looks like a Romney landslide with a sea of dark blue and small islands of red, while NH is at least 2/3 red indicating a strong Obama victory.

I guess Pennsylvania gave us your standard results, with Democratic strength concentrated in small but very populous urban areas and Republicans winning in large yet sparsely populated rural areas. But in NH Dems seem to win the most rural areas while Republicans are winning the suburban areas near Massachusetts, so it's like the opposite of PA.

Could I request a GA map? I know it's not your region of expertise but I've been dying to see one.

it would be cool to move to one of those unpopulated places in Maine so that my vote for a 3rd party or write-in candidate would show up on homely's map!

Those PA maps are fascinating. Knowing nothing about the candidates, I can guess the Democratic primary resonated with cultural difference, though the urban candidate has some appeal for the Philly suburbanites as well.  For the Republicans on the other hand, it is as strongly locally-driven a statewide election as I have seen. That's a really beautiful one! I love how the Metcalfe area looks almost fractal.

The first of these PA maps looks highly interesting (and no doubt even more so if I'd followed the race and knew anything about the candidates ;D ) but certainly not "crazy".

The other one OTOH... Effing hilarious.



Title: Re: Homely's new maps thread
Post by: Keystone Phil on August 26, 2013, 09:37:12 AM
Love it! The first map is what happens when you're a central PA State Representative running against two urban* candidates.  :P  Not surprising that Conklin received that kind of support outside of the urban areas but it still is an upset that he beat Saidel (even with Smith-Ribner splitting his vote).  I have no idea why Smith-Ribner did so well in NE PA. Very impressive for a black female candidate not even from that part of the state.

The second one has a more special place in my heart since I ended up becoming friends with one of the candidates. Easily the craziest map I've seen. Incredible stuff. Regionalization at its finest.

*I was always under the impression she was from Philly. It turns out her husband was a judge here.

It's remarkable that the transportation geography of the 19th Century has such a strong effect on 21st Century voting patterns. The obstacle presented to trade by Niagara Falls and its diversion through the Erie Canal obviated the need for a major port on Lake Ontario in New York - consequently, there aren't any major US cities located on the lake.

It's amazing how closely clustered the Democratic votes in Ohio and Pennsylvania are, especially in light of the fact they both went Democratic in 2012.

The hydrologic watershed in which that industrial catchment is located is, as you can see, divided almost evenly between the two states. Geography is destiny!

Physical geography can sometimes be an obstacle to understanding politics.

Here's another map of Connecticut. Several of the Quinebaug Valley towns in the east have a population out of which less than one quarter have a college degree.

Where do you get some of these municipal maps from?

I kinda thought the reason that the mid-west was competitive for democrats was due to german ancestry, comparing the maps it seems like germans actually are conservative.

Would you care to suggest a different title for those ten states?

Where do you get some of these municipal maps from?

I wish it was as simple a matter as "getting" the municipal maps from a premade source. While I do use Dave's Redistricting App for the basic state outlines, it takes many hours of meticulous editing to produce the usable basemap from which I colored the 2012 Northeast municipal - or whatever you want to call it - map.

No problem. Thought I'd throw in a little bonus map and make it a gif.

Where do you get your municipal results for NY?

From each individual county. There's sixty-two of them in New York, and many of them make you pay to have photocopies made of their canvass books.

Do any of them have it available online?

New York Gubernatorial Election 2014, minus Nassau. I have no interest in spending $25 for Nassau County's 10 lb. canvass book.

I'm afraid that my interest in cartography has completely evaporated. For the time being, I have nothing more to contribute to this thread.

1. Go south from Ohio on I-75 or I-77 and you end up in either Georgia or South Carolina. The Northeast is to the north of the Southeast.

2. No state to its south or west is really like Ohio. To be sure its rural areas are easy to confuse even with rural Iowa -- but Ohio has its population heavily concentrated in urban areas. Southeastern Michigan (basically the US 23 corridor from Bay City to Greater Toledo and everything to the east of it) is a lot like urban Ohio.

Depends on what type of German immigrants. Not all of them are the same. I can tell you from first-hand knowledge the Catholic Germans of West Ohio are extremely conservative.

Thanks guys, I'm not really "back" but I wanted to share some maps with you all in case you haven't seen them on Twitter. Hence the color scale is back-to-front.
