Thanks very much, I appreciate it. I'll get started converting those maps of mine to Atlas format to post here.

Thanks to homelycooking, here is the town map of the 2008 Democratic primaries for New England and most of New York:

[homelycooking]

You're welcome. Do you have a map of the Republican primary from 2008 for NE? If not, I can probably make one for you.

I have most of one, but I don't have much for Maine, unfortunately. I think I have only one county worth of results and maybe not even that much.

EDIT: Nevermind. Just found Maine caucus results.

Here is the town map for New England and most of New York in the 2008 Republican Primaries:



Also, on the main maps, I've just put a couple more caucus results I've scraped together up, including the 2000 Alaska Republican caucus, 2000 North Dakota Republican caucus, and 2004 Kansas Democratic caucus. The Alaska map is neat because it confirms my hypothesis on the split between the Matsu Valley/Anchorage suburbs vs. Bush/Panhandle/Downtown Anchorage as the main divide in Alaska Republican politics, and explains why Robertson and Buchanan were able to win previously.

Why so few of Maine's townships have results?

[Hashemite]

Why so few of Maine's townships have results?

Large swathes have no people but are apparently divided into blocks of land. Also, this is the GOP caucus so perhaps some isolated townships were merged with others because there are so few people up there.

Where did you get the Maine data for the 2008 republican caucus?

Yeah, both the Democratic and Republican caucuses were held in many fewer towns than state-run primaries and general elections are held in just because it doesn't make much sense money-wise to hold them in some places. The Republicans hardly held any in the St. John’s Valley, for example, as the most of the area is pretty solidly Democratic.

Where did you get the Maine data for the 2008 republican caucus?

I pulled the data off an archived version of the Maine Republican Party website. I’m going to upload the original pdf and the xls file I made out of it to the Wiki as soon as I can.

EDIT: Link to the achived page

An exciting little achievement here: the 2008 Republican primary map is now complete for every state that had a contest! I finally managed to get a copy of the results by district for Alaska, and I have uploaded a new version of the 2008 Rep map on the first page.

Also, here are links to a couple REALLY large maps of both 2008 Alaska caucuses by House District:
2008 Alaska Democratic Caucus
2008 Alaska Republican Caucus

Excellent job!!!
I see that Obama besides Juneau and Anchorage was very strong in North Slope.

Does anybody have town data from the 2004 caucus in Maine?

[realisticidealist]

I've been trying to get it, but have so far been unsuccessful. We don't even have county data for it.

[twinaustin98]

Do you have a town map of Maine 1996 republican primary because if you don't I have the data to make a map if you want me to make it.

[realisticidealist]

I don't believe that I do. You are welcome to make one.

[twinaustin98]

I am very sorry I have been takeing so long on the maine map. I hope to get it done soon.

[realisticidealist]

I've updated some of the maps to show the random caucus data I've found, most of which came from old editions of CQ. The data is only for some counties in some states, though I know they at least at one point had the full results. It's getting really irritatingly depressing searching for this data, but I really want to find it.

[twinaustin98]

Could you post the links for the 1980, 1984, 1988, and 1992 maine data? Thanks

I unfortunately don't have complete results for any of those years for Maine. The closest I have is for 1992, which is on the wiki, with unofficial town results.

Random cool moment for me: I spoke with Sam Reed in person today (he was at my school giving a talk) about trying to get caucus data up on the WA SoS website. He confirmed what I already knew: the parties are retarded. But anyway, he said they are going to try to do so going forward, especially since their won't be a presidential primary next year, which he was very disappointed about. I'm thinking about emailing his staff person who is working on their election gathering project thing to see if I can point them in the direction of at least the past couple cycles' caucus data.

[realisticidealist]

I hadn't done any in a while, so here are two more Massachusetts presidential primary town maps, this time for the 1972 and 1988 Democratic primaries.

1972:


1988:


I'll be attempting, to the best of my ability, to make a 1988 Democratic New England map in the coming days. I can't let homelycooking and Dallasfan have all the fun.

Who's yellow and blue?

[realisticidealist]

In 1972, Yellow is Muskie, Green is Wallace, and Blue is Humphrey. In 1988, Blue is Jackson.

It's the same color scheme as the main maps on the first page
