Nader second?

Did Ralph Nader finish second in any county in 2000?

[nclib]

That's a good question but I'm not sure about that. I remember hearing that Nader got more votes than Bush in Cambridge, Mass., though.

Bush only beat Nader by 8000 votes in DC

I don't know about counties, but in Alaska, which doesn't have any, he got quite a few second places and a handful of first places in precincts. There's one outside Juneau that voted approximately Nader 55, Gore 30, Bush 15. If I remember right it wasn't that small either...Small but not that small.

I've checked thoroughly and there is not any county where Nader came second or topped 20%.
He topped 10% in 24 Counties, in 13 of Alaska's 40 House Districts, and among the Overseas vote in Hawaii, which does not get allocated on a county basis.
His highest county result is 17,2% in San Miguel County, Colorado. His highest Alaskan HD result is 18,5% in the 29th.

Nader top five from Dave's Atlas

San Miguel CO 17,0 %
Missoula MT 15,03 %
Grand UT 14,94 %
Mendocino CA 14,68 %
Hampshire MA 14.59 %

It seems that Nader did his best in American Indian areas and counties with big universities.

It's strange that Nader's top three counties were in Bush states.  Thanks for the info.

I think that's probably because those states are very small in population, and the Nader votes will add up better. Example, Nader did better in Idaho than Massachusetts, cause Idaho has about ten people in it.

Good point, if 10,000 people vote for Nader in Wyoming that's a high percentage.

[So the Heroes Fall]

according to the analysis, Nader came in second in no counties. He did in a few cities though, most notably in Amherst, Massachussetts he got 25% to Bush's 13%. He beat Bush in quite a few precincts in liberal college towns.

That he did best in Bush states isn't really a suprise since leftists in those states knew Gore wouldn't win them anyway and were more willing to vote for Nader.

I know a precinct isn't a county, but In Election District 35 in Alaska, Nader finished second in the precinct of Whittier.

And first in the precinct of Peninsula/Chilkat. It's in the Northern panhandle, I've forgotten which district. There's at least half a dozen precincts in the panhandle where he came second.
