Current Voter Registration by Party by County (where available)

[RI]

Only 29 states have it, unfortunately for this map.

Wow!  A fantastic effort! 

It is amazing how political allegiances that date back to the end of the Civil War are still so apparent in Kentucky, North Carolina, and Maryland.  These same patterns that immigrated into Oklahoma are still easy to see as well.  Kansas still largely reflects the results of "Bleeding Kansas" and the military retirees that predominate the northwestern-most counties of Florida stand out quite clearly.

I got ahold of the totals for Utah as they are not accessible online. The state is 50.54% Ind, 40.11% Rep, and only 8.90% Democratic. A total of six counties have Dem percentages over 10%.

Carbon: 16.57%
Summitt: 14.80%
San Juan: 12.53%
Salt Lake: 12.20%
Grand: 12.10%
Kane: 10.37%

There are 13 counties at 5% Democratic or lower, with the lowest being Morgan County at 3.47%. The top Independent counties are the ones that typically vote the most Democratic in elections, it seems.

On NC, for the most part, yes. But the counties with GOP majorities in registration central reflect the party switching of the Jessecrats to the GOP. The NW counties and the others in Appalachia represent and Dems in the East that aren't black majority and/or have rapidly changing demographics (like Wake or Mecklenburg) represent lagacy Democratic support. Surprising to see Johnston county still has a Dem lead in registration. Well its much closer atleast, and I am partially responsible for this by the way ()

Susquehanna, PA is still representing. Delco still has a GOP edge in registration but Bucks and Montco doesn't? That's a little surprising.

Broome, NY still has a GOP edge? That is the most surprising of all of them in my opinion.

This map is a treasure trove of electoral info! As soon as anyone has the data, I'd be more than willing to help fill the map in.

Unfortunately, the rest of the states don't have voter registration by party.

I'm guessing there's some legal reason as to why some states ( NJ, for example) are so much more indy than neighbors (PA)

As of April Broome still had a GOP advantage of active voters, but the Democrats have the advantage in total voters.  With that being said the GOP advantage was 0.3% or 386 voters among active voters in the April update, so its probably a Dem advantage among active voters as well.  Suffolk will likely have a Dem advantage in the very near future as well.

Pennsylvania has closed primaries. New Jersey's are semi-open. The perception of corruption and general extreme negativity towards politics in general in NJ I think also contributes to an unwillingness to register with a party.

Cherokee and Crawford counties, the two Democratic counties in the southeast corner of Kansas, were largely settled by southern and eastern Europeans who came there to mine coal in the Cherokee-Crawford coal field. They were very pro-Union and very radical. Eugene V. Debs lived in Crawford County and he won Crawford County in the 1912 presidential race (he was a Socialist). So in those two counties, it's not the legacy of southern Democrats that causes them to be Democratic. It's the southern and eastern European pro-labor legacy.

That was a mining area? Ah; explains a lot, thank you

Unless we see the green shoots of GOP recovery in Long Island from its late 2000's trough countinue though that likely won't have an effect on registration.


And what happened to the parties in New England? I thought the Dems still had the advantage in CT and RI atleast. Even seeing MA had more indies came a bit as a surprise. Northern England however makes perfect sense.

[Antonio the Sixth]

A State map would also be helpful, if someone has it.

[Nichlemn]

There are plenty of Democratic counties that are Republican at the Presidential election, but what are the most Republican-registered counties that are Democratic at the Presidential level?

Hmm...? There is no party registration outside the U.S. If there was such a thing here, I guess most of Northern England would register how it votes (Labour).

Thanks.
Wow, it's surprising to see how Southern States are still in majority democratic as of today...

A map of the US is being discussed, I mention southern NEW England states by name and ponder as to what happened to Dem registration advantages, then I made that statement which you clearly cut out from its orgininal context. Most would know what I am referring to and that the "NEW" just got left out due to fast typing. However it serves your purpose to not do so, so you don't.

Yes, Northern England would likely be registered with the Labour party primarily due to its demographics and its economic base being declining heavy industries. The same sort of political allignment was common in the US for several decades untill cultural issues began to become important in the 70's, 80's and 90's.

A glance at the map suggests it's Ouray County, Colorado or SLO or Riverside County, California. Ouray was stronger for Obama, however, and more Democratic than the nation. (SLO and Riverside were more Republican than the nation.)

Delaware County, PA was one of the oddest I found when I was doing the map. Nearby Chester and Northampton counties to an extent as well.

[homelycooking]

Here are town maps for Connecticut and Rhode Island. I can do New Hampshire too, if you'd like.

[RI]

New Hampshire is pretty uniform, but you can do it if you'd like. Maine would be pretty cool.

I missed that it is majority Republican registered! Yes, definitely the biggest divide, then.

For what it's worth, we confirmed in another thread about a year ago that Chester, PA, very poor and 78% black as well as the Democratic anchor of Delaware County... is actually dominated locally by the Republican Party. The mayor and the entire city council are black Republicans. I suppose the only reason they don't get paraded about at the RNC is that Chester is an economic disaster area and has been for ages, and parading them about would destroy the common Republican argument that many inner city areas are poor and economically devastated because Democrats run them. But the old black Republican institution seems to have survived there as it has not anywhere else from the pre-Civil Rights days.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Chester hasn't been in Chester county since 1789.

[Niemeyerite]

Utah's interesting. a independent there would be a ultraconservative republican in NY, I guess...

[Verily]

Chester hasn't been in Chester county since 1789.

Meant to say Delaware County.

At one point, Chester county ran from the Delaware to the Susquehanna.
