Election Results by Congressional Districts, OFFICIAL THREAD

[Fuzzy]

I may ask too much, but I'd really love to see some national CD maps, if you can do them.

Alright, I'm working on 1968, 1972, and 1992 national at the moment.    But it will take a while.

The West, 1968




I'm soooo happy I got California done too! 

[Fuzzy]

Thoughts?

[freepcrusher]

how did Humphrey lose the Seattle district?

[Fuzzy]

how did Humphrey lose the Seattle district?

Seattle was divided by the 1st and 7th at the time.  The first also contained Bellevue, which was heavily Republican back then.

However, Humphrey was able to win the 7th by 12%, which contained central and southern Seattle.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Only parts of it, but yeah, the 1968 results there require an explanation.

Compare state maps by year, 1960, 68, 76, 80. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

So, do we have anything new?

Beautiful ! I thought Humphrey would be stronger in the Pacific coast...

what districts in the west were hyperpartisan to the point where either Humphrey or Nixon won 50 percent? Looking at your map, it looks like Nixon won 50% in most of the districts he won including 60% in Arizona 1, California 35 and 36. The districts Humphrey got at least 50% look to be the Gus Hawkins district in Watts, the Phil Burton district, the Oakland based 8th (all in  Don Edwards San Jose district, maybe the Sacramento based 3rd, probably Oregon 3 (Portland) and maybe Washington 7.

It might have been because of Wallace, since he appealed to many in the working class.

Thanks     Yeah, it is amazing how different things are now than they were 40 years ago. 

[Sibboleth]

Thing to remember about HHH in '68 was that his support - at least in the North and in the West - was tied into class patterns to an extent that was a little unusual even for the time.

[Californian Tony]

Yeah, by a quick look at the Atlas page it seems Humphrey did significantly better in the Rust Belt States than democrats did at the time. Apparently that hurt him in  liberal-leaning but wealthy areas like the west coast.

1968 Presidential Election, Results by Congressional District




Edit--Oh yeah, I forgot:  

Edit again--I found the maps for Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.  The national map has been adjusted accordingly.

You are the best, Fuzzy !

[Landslide Lyndon]

Did you count how much districts each candidate won ? I'm curious to see if the results are lopsided (and in which way) considering the PV was almost tied.

[Fuzzy]

You are the best, Fuzzy !

Thank you  I'm flattered.

I'm not exactly sure, I'll get on that.  

[Fuzzy]

I got 229 districts for Nixon, 159 districts for Humphrey, and 47 districts for Wallace.  I may be off by one or two.  The % of CDs won by each candidate was disproportional to the popular vote, but it is worthy to note that Humphrey outperformed Nixon in most of the southern CDs that Wallace won.

Also, I'd be interested in seeing what Wallace's best CD's outside the South were.

Thank you.

So the disproportion in the Electoral College remains in the CD count... I really don't understand where this Humphrey weakness comes from. Sure, he performed better than Nixon in Wallace States, but only slightly so and not in all of them.

With the Maine/Nebraska, it would give 293 to Nixon, 188 to Humphrey and 57 to Wallace.

I think it's because Nixon's districts wern't nearly as polarized as Humphrey's.  Nixon didn't break 70% in any CD, while Humphrey often broke 70% or 80% in the big city congressional districts.

Anything else?

[Californian Tony]

Anything else?

If you could do national maps for other years, it'd be awesome.

[freepcrusher]

Anything else?

what were Hubert Humphrey's top ten best districts? My guess would be (in no order)
New York 12
New York 22
New York 18
Pennsylvania 2
Maryland 7
Ohio 21
Michigan 13
Michigan 1
Illinois 1
Illinois 6
