National Presidential Primary County and State Maps (1912-2020)

Lugar?? Really?!?

I seem to recall his campaign going less than nowhere. Did he focus on Vermont to try making it a "breakthough" state the way Duncan Hunter did in Wyoming last year?

Vermont was far and away Lugar's best performance of the campaign. The only other state in which he broke 5% was New Hampshire; he received 13.56% in Vermont, and won three townships. As to why he appealed to New Englanders, I do not know.

I recall from the campaign that Lugar did focus on Vermont.  His appeal was agrarian - although I don't recall the details, he had promoted beneficial legislation for dairy farmers.   Note, I actually colored a VT township map by hand in early 1996 (from the Boston Globe newspaper results)

BTW, I recommend uploading the maps you make to the forum gallery - more permanent as often third-party website images can "disappear".

Great work!  I'm starting to add these data to the site database.

any problem areas where the people in that state haven't helped out much at all? or areas where state sources are needed? just curious, since there might be some areas where some member of the site has access to numbers

Yes, there are a few:

5. I have contacted Pennsylvania (1968, 1976, 1980, 1996) and Tennessee (1976, 1980, 1984, 1996) to get the last few remaining primaries, but they haven't contacted me back yet. If someone could get those faster that would be nice.

I have a number of Pennsylvania Manuals at home (I have a large collection of Paper).  The 1996 Primary data are in the 1997 manual (although there are two discrepancies between the county data and state-wide sum).  The 1992 data are in the 1993 manual and reconcile.  Will have to look to see what other manuals I have (I probably also have 1981).

With Dave soon to be posting new maps, here are some handy links to all the presidential primary pages:

2008 Democratic: here
2008 Republican: here
2004 Democratic: here
2000 Democratic: here
2000 Republican: here

As new primaries are uploaded, I will place them on this list.

Awesome.

Dave, anyway we can get these links under the Presidential primaries drop down menu for the 2000 elections? When you go under election results right now and select 2000 Demoratic primary or 2000 Republican primary, you get the old format in which county results aren't sortable.

I have now linked the new database-driven 2000R and 2000D primaries in the pull-down menu.
