[bushforever]

As you can see, Gore has a little bit more counties than Bush.  His greatest county is The Bronx and his most vulnerable county was Santa Barbara.  He also has a little bit more plurarity in his top counties.  He's most popular in large cities, industrial cities, and a few inner suburbs.

I looked into the two counties that were listed as having potential problems. The voting results in Monterey County, CA were, per the county's elections site:

Kerry 60.36% (55,575)
Bush 38.23% (35,205)
Badnarik 0.37% (343)
Cobb 0.34% (311)
Peroutka 0.24% (222)
Peltier 0.19% (176)
Write-In 0.26% (244)

Overall that makes for 92,076 votes for President. The site says there were 92,568 ballots cast, which means the country must have had under 100,000 votes this time for some reason. However, it also notes:  "We still have approximately 26,000 ballots that have not been processed. These include absentee ballots received in the mail on November 1st and 2nd, absentee ballots deposited at our office November 1st and 2nd, absentee ballots deposited at polling places on election day, a large quantity of ballots not marked properly by voters that need to be duplicated before they can be counted, and an estimated 6,800 provisional ballots that may take up to three or four weeks to process."

[Alcon]

Boulder County, CO, lists the following election results:

Kerry 66.5% (101,990)
Bush 32.2% (49,352)
Nader 0.6% (917)
Badnarik 0.5% (736)
Peroutka 0.1% (168)
Cobb 0.1% (111)
Andress 0.0% (22)
Brown 0.0% (17)
Amondson 0.0% (15)
Harris 0.0% (11)
Van Auken 0.0% (7)
Dodge 0.0% (4)
Kennedy 0.0% (2)

I'm not sure why it's so Democratic, but apparently it is; it also certainly has over 100,000 votes.

[minionofmidas]

So Dave's got early, incorrect data on both...and there still aren't complete data on Monterey (which had 110,000 votes in 2000.) I noticed that California is drifting rapidly asunder acording to these figures, the Bay Area swinging heavily Dem, the Valley heavily Rep. But if these figures aren't complete, maybe it's nowhere as bad.

[Alcon]

I'm in the process of checking Dave's results against the ones on the county election sites for California. It may take a while.

EDIT: This is pointless...way too many counties and he'll be reposting info later anyway.

Linn IA (Davenport) 54.5 Crossed 100,000 votes

Linn County is actually Cedar Rapids.  Davenport is in Scott County.

Otherwise great list.  Not as many pickups or 100,000 vote crosses as Bush, but still an impressive share.

Thanks for updating my data.

Thanks for updating my data.

"Pure" pickups are actually six a side.
Btw, I noticed that St Louis Co, MN, did not cross 100,000 votes this election. It was merely missing from the original list.

I do remember that St. Louis, MN was close, but I thought it didn't make the 100,000 cut.  By the way, I excluded all 3rd party votes...that may be why.

[minionofmidas]

That explains it, yes.
There were 107,464 valid votes cast in St Louis county, 99,657 of which for the Democratic and Republican slates.

Add Thurston,WA (Olympia) 55.5 (Crossed 100,000 votes).
