George Wallace's best counties outside the South

[RBH]

Wallace got 19.39% in St. Charles County, MO while getting 11% total in MO.

He also got 19.95% in Daviess County, KY and he got 18% in Kentucky

And he got a higher percentage in Oklahoma than Texas. Including 25% in Comanche County, OK and 20% in Muskogee County, OK

Wallace did do very well in the Boothill, but he didn't crack though Northeast Missouri.

Although Nixon became the first Republican to carry Audrain, Boone, and Callaway County. (Well, I think those three counties went Democratic every year from 1860 to 1956)

Wyandotte includes the (now) majority-black Kansas City, Kansas

Lake includes Gary, IN

Dorchester County, MD seems to be like a Southern county

St. Claire includes East St. Louis, IL

Genessee includes Flint, MI

As for Butler.. um.. white flight?

Wyandotte includes the (now) majority-black Kansas City, Kansas

Incorrect. 2000 Census says Kansas City is 30% black. No place in Kansas can be majority black

It's still a source of tension, which would led people to vote Wallace.

Wyandotte County (158K): 28% Black
KCK (147K): 30% Black
Rest of Wyandotte (11K): 4% Black

Wikipedia had someone who flipped the stats

Missouri does have a lot of majority African-American cities though. Including lots of suburbs in St. Louis.
