In 1964, more votes were cast for Goldwater in MS than the total vote in any previous election. In 1968, more votes were cast for Wallace in MS than the total vote in any previous election. Similar facts apply to AL. In Boston and San Francisco, Carter's 1976 vote total was down 20-25% from McGovern's despite a 40% increase nationwide. In Alabama, Bush 41 in 1992 retained 99% of his 1988 vote-- the highest percentage of any state.

As Bush 41 might say, I smell apathy.

In 1988, Bush got more than 200,000 more votes in MA than in AL, even though Dukakis was from MA. In 1992, Bush's votes totals from MA and AL were virtually identical (within +/-1000 or so).
