I will frequently add more counties, and I hope to get the entire US done before christmas:

2000-2004 swing

Blue = Republican Swing
Red = Democratic Swing

The only parts of that map that surprise me are New England and southern California.

I'm surprised every single county in Mass. was more favorable towards Bush than last time, especially when Kerry was from that state.

Maps like this already exist, and they're much generated much more easily using computer programs than all the effort your putting in.

However since you seem to be enjoying it, please proceed.

Free GIS software! You'll need a spreadsheet program that can write in DBF or CSV. I used it to make my 2000 VA precinct map (http://www.geocities.com/kn1122us/vaprecinctmap.PNG)

Gore did phenominally well there in 2000, losing only 4 of the then-congressional districts in the state (although I believe he lost 6 of the districts that were created after redistricting).  So the shift toward Bush in upstate New York could partly (or even mostly) be a shift back to the normal partisan ballance in that part of the state.  Some of the shift toward Bush probably has to do with changing perceptions of Bush due to his reaction to the September 11 attacks as well.  For a while, people were talking about New York state actually being in play.  Kerry won handily this year, but Bush had a "net gain" (Bush's % of the vote in 2004 - Kerry's % of the vote 2004 - Bush's % of the vote in 2000 + Gore's % of the vote 2000) of 3.3% between his two elections, and it's not surprising to me that Upstate New York swung to him by enough that most counties there had at least some swing toward him.

Sincerely,

Kevin Lamoreau
