It's amazing how closely clustered the Democratic votes in Ohio and Pennsylvania are, especially in light of the fact they both went Democratic in 2012.

Also shows how the Lake Eire coastline is much more Democratic than the Lake Ontario coastline.

It's remarkable that the transportation geography of the 19th Century has such a strong effect on 21st Century voting patterns. The obstacle presented to trade by Niagara Falls and its diversion through the Erie Canal obviated the need for a major port on Lake Ontario in New York - consequently, there aren't any major US cities located on the lake.

It's amazing how closely clustered the Democratic votes in Ohio and Pennsylvania are, especially in light of the fact they both went Democratic in 2012.

The hydrologic watershed in which that industrial catchment is located is, as you can see, divided almost evenly between the two states. Geography is destiny!

Physical geography can sometimes be an obstacle to understanding politics.

Here's another map of Connecticut. Several of the Quinebaug Valley towns in the east have a population out of which less than one quarter have a college degree.

This one has exactly the same color scale as the map of CT two posts above.

Interesting.





I kinda thought the reason that the mid-west was competitive for democrats was due to german ancestry, comparing the maps it seems like germans actually are conservative.

Would you care to suggest a different title for those ten states?

Where do you get some of these municipal maps from?

I wish it was as simple a matter as "getting" the municipal maps from a premade source. While I do use Dave's Redistricting App for the basic state outlines, it takes many hours of meticulous editing to produce the usable basemap from which I colored the 2012 Northeast municipal - or whatever you want to call it - map.

No problem. Thought I'd throw in a little bonus map and make it a gif.

From each individual county. There's sixty-two of them in New York, and many of them make you pay to have photocopies made of their canvass books.

Do any of them have it available online?

Homely, do you have a town/precinct map of only Ohio for the 2012 Pres Election?

New York Gubernatorial Election 2014, minus Nassau. I have no interest in spending $25 for Nassau County's 10 lb. canvass book.



I'm afraid that my interest in cartography has completely evaporated. For the time being, I have nothing more to contribute to this thread.
