How did Nader effect Gore in your home state?

[CultureKing]

I'm just curious as to how many counties were close enough that a change in votes for Nader going to Gore would have made gore the victor in the given county. In my home state of Washington Gore would have won 2 more counties.

[Grad Students are the Worst]

Same deal - Skagit and Whatcom

[Bandit3 the Worker]

In Kentucky, he would have won a whole bunch, because people hated Bush so much.

I think you misunderstand the question.  I looked it up for you - it's three (Greenup, Lyon and Rowan).

Also Fayette for certain, and probably also Letcher (unless Gore actually carried it anyway).

Incorrect.  Check the results.  Bush won Kentucky by a very comfortable margin, not much would have changed.

In Fayette for example:

Gore   44.8%   47,277   
 
Bush   51.7%   54,495   
 
Nader   2.9%   3,052

No...

Bush got 52.88% in Fayette and 52.96% in Letcher.

No...

Bush got 52.88% in Fayette and 52.96% in Letcher.

You're looking at the 2004 results there, but Bush still got over 50% in Fayette in 2000 too.

[HardRCafé]

Nader was not even on the ballot where I was.

Oops, yeah.

[So the Heroes Fall]

Quite a few, including my home county

Goodhue, Beltrami, Washington, Dakota, Anoka, Blue Earth, Nicollet, Yellow Medicine, Pope, Chippewa, Cook

[nclib]

Nader wasn't on the ballot in N.C.

[Verily]

Two, Somerset and Ocean. Cape May County would have been absurdly close.

[adam]

Nader tipped both Travis County to Bush (by obtaining over 10%) and Kleberg County (by obtaining 1.42%)

[Bacon King]

None. Nader was only on the ballot as a write-in and only gained a significant amount of votes around Clarke County (college town), which went for Gore anyway.

[Vasall des Midas]

(adding 100% of Nader's tally to Gore's)
Maine - Lincoln, Penobscot, Waldo
NH - Hillsborough, Rockingham
VT - Orange, Orleans
NY - Cortland, Dutchess, Oswego, Otsego, Saratoga
NJ - has been done
PA - none (there's only county that Bush won with under 50% of the vote, Monroe, and he outpolled Gore+Nader by 7 votes there)
OH - Columbiana, Harrison, Stark. Ottawa would be an exact tie

[Vasall des Midas]

IN - Monroe, unsurprisingly
IL - Marion, Vermilion, Winnebago
MI - Alger, Gladwin, St Clair, Schoolcraft, Shiawassee
WI - 13 counties, which I don't feel like listing. Go to the 2000 results page. All the R40 shade counties except Manitowoc and Wood.
MN - has been done
IA - Fayette, Jasper, Palo Alto, Poweshiek, Warren, Winneshiek
In addition, Hagelin cost Gore Jefferson Co.
MO, ND, NE - none

KS - Atchison, Crawford, Shawnee

[Vasall des Midas]

TN - Coffee
MS - Chickasaw (despite Nader finishing behind Buchanan)
AR - Conway, Sevier
LA - Red River, Martin
OK - none
TX - has been done
MT - Missoula
ID, WY - none
CO - Clear Creek, Conejos, Eagle, Gunnison, La Plata, Routt

Does anyone have the time to list which of these counties voted for Kerry in 2004?

Off the top of my head, I think Travis (TX), Stark (OH), Alpine (CA), and Monroe (IN) did.

[Vasall des Midas]

Of the top off mine, the Vermont ones, Jefferson IA, Albemarle and Fairfax VA, Missoula, and I'm fairly sure at least some of the Colorado ones.

[NewFederalist]

Nader was only on the ballot as a write-in...

Uh... I don't believe that you are on the ballot if you are a write-in.

[KEmperor]

Nader was only on the ballot as a write-in...

Uh... I don't believe that you are on the ballot if you are a write-in.

There was clearly a spot on the Georgia ballot that said "Write in Nader please:"

Damn Republicans.

[Smash255]

Cortland
Dutchess
Oswego

Nassau went to Gore by 19.44, so the only impact Nader had was holding Gore to under a 20% victory.

[GPORTER]

I'm just curious as to how many counties were close enough that a change in votes for Nader going to Gore would have made gore the victor in the given county. In my home state of Washington Gore would have won 2 more counties.

Nader got .95% of the vote in Tennessee. Had their been no Nader, only one county would have swung to Gore. I am surprised that Gore lost his home state and with it the election, but I sure am glad.
