Well since you are giving district results now, I would love to see the results for NY-24 through NY-41 on your nationwide 1968 map.

Thanks a bundle.

The West, 1968




I'm soooo happy I got California done too! 

What's interesting about this map is that it seems Humphrey won a district in the San Fernando valley as well as the San Gabriel valley. Am I right? It's a little hard to see.

Yes, I believe he did.

Washington, 1980



A pretty dull map, but it is worthy to note that Carter came closer to winning WA-1 in 1980 than in 1976.  Washington's first gave Ford a 9% edge in 1976, and only gave Reagan a 4% MOV in 1980.

Reagan gained quite a bit of ground in WA-3 and WA-6, both of which swung 16% and 15% GOP respectively.

The South, 1976

The South, 1976

Great work !

Interesting to see Ford won so much districts in the south-center of this map (southern Mississippi-Alabama, Louisiana and western Florida. Also, his pocket of strength in Virginia is pretty amazing if you compare to bordering districts in WV and NC.

Less blacks despite being in the Deep South proper would be one factor. Also, not in Georgia. Also, especially bad racist sentiment in parts. And, at least as far as the coastal areas are concerned, a big military/etc vote.

what has racism to do with Ford?

As a person? Nothing, as far as I'm aware. It's just that he was the Republican candidate.

Ford must have been getting ~90% of the White vote (as Rs also do nowadays in that part of the world) to win that southwest Mississippi seat.

So, the "blacks are voting Democrat so we'll vote Republican" effect was getting traction right then . . .

I'd be interested in seeing the South in 1980.

It's incredible Reagan carried AR and AL. Carter won 3 countries in the first and I think he only lost 1 in Alabama.

Yeah, Carter carried several districts by small margins (like 4% or 5%) while Reagan won his with double digits.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

As a bonus, here's a map that shows what Southern districts bucked the trend in 1980 and swung to Carter. 

[shua]

Thanks fuzzy!
Very interesting to see the change. Looks like the GOP+ swing was greatest in OK and E TX. The hollowing out of Carter's support in Southern Appalachia is interesting too.
For the DEM+ swing, I see some areas in the Deep South with high African American populations - even though remarkably the Birmingham and SW MS districts still voted Republican. Also a majority Hispanic city (San Antonio) and a majority black city (Memphis), and a majority white city (Lexington). But none of those swings are very large, right?

I'm glad to help. 

You're right about the swings.  Only 2 of the highlighted districts swung more than 5% to Carter in 1980 (KY-3 and MS-4).

[Californian Tony]

Wow !

So Clinton carried one of the two eastern districts ? It's incredible to see how things have changed in just 12 years...

[Joe Republic]

That was Tom Foley's district, ftr.
