Some Town Maps

Urgh @ the Gold Coast. Expected, of course.

Does anyone have the % French/French-Canadian for Pittsburg, NH (the northernmost town in NH that voted McCain).

English 36%, French-French Canadian 29%, Irish 14%, American 8%, Scottish 4%, German 4%

Coos county as a whole is like 42% French-French Canadian.

What are the most French/French-Canadian towns in Coos?

[Sam Spade]

There's a little more blue than I was expecting on that map, particularly in southeast MA.

I believe McCain did as well or better than Bush in the southeastern Mass districts, particularly the 9th.

Irish white-flight suburbs.  That is nothing, if not predictable, of course.

Someone needs to do Ohio now. And Michigan. And Indiana. And Illinois.

I'll post a preliminary Michigan map soon.  Ohio is in progress (OH is rather difficult due to its split between townships and "places".  I have all the data, but it requires a lot of hand matching to shapes - and they are sometimes combined.)  IL is started, but would be great to get some help collecting all the official county data.

It looks like you could drive from New York city to Philadelphia without passing through a single Republican township.  You could also drive from Montreal, Canada to New York City withoug going through one if you did most of your trip through New England.

New York is probably one of the most urbanized states.  40% live in New York City proper and 2/3 in the downstate New York.  In upstate New York, much of the population lives in larger cities like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany which all usually go Democrat.  Besides the Democrats tend to rack up large margins in the big cities, while the Republicans usually only narrowly win the rural areas, at least in recent elections, thus why New York went solidly for Obama, yet much of the state is still blue.

I'm working on a swing map for New England towns (2004-08)...There was a 60% swing in Dixville, NH from Rep. to Dem., and a 20% swing from Dem to Rep in Searsburg, VT, the town that voted for a Libertarian for prez in 2000. Almost all of Vermont had at least a 5% swing to the Dems. Southeastern NH has negligible swings, as did Eastern Connecticut, Rhode Island and much of Central Massachusetts.
