National Presidential Primary County and State Maps (1912-2012)

[RBH]

I posted county totals for the other three candidates on OurCampaigns (and the totals add up too): http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=36271

I added the 1980 Republican primary, though it is still very much a work in progress.

[Alexander Hamilton]

Sounds like a lot of work.

Regarding the Ohio 1988 results, here's a map reminder of the areas where Jackson wasn't on the ballot



Dukakis won 81.94% and 130783 votes in the 3 districts that Jackson didn't contest.

And 16142 of 28414 votes for Gary Hart were cast in the 3 districts that Jackson didn't contest, including 10741 votes in the 13th district

either the DeSoto county results were flipped, or Ashbrook beat Nixon in one count by nearly 3-1 while losing 9-1 in the counties bordering DeSoto county

An interesting map--here are the percentages in the 1972 Florida primary for the second place candidate, as Wallace won every county. Purple is Henry Jackson, while orange, in this map, is Chisholm.

Vermont's 1980 results are up

It's interesting, though, to see that Jackson did well in the Panhandle.

here's the town map for the 1980 Vermont Republican primary

A far less interesting map--the 1980 Vermont Democratic primary:

The Beamgard map isn't a stunner



if only Beamgard had run in Nebraska, then he would have had 2 or 3 counties north of Rawlins where he topped 10%

Hauptil got 24% in Mitchell County and 11% in his home county.

Kerrey's best showings were in two counties bordering Nebraska.

Leave it to Kansas to have primaries for two uncompetitive years, and not for 1988 or any other year.

1996 Vermont Republican Primary. Purple is Richard Lugar:

1996 Vermont Republican Primary. Purple is Richard Lugar:

Lugar?? Really?!?

I seem to recall his campaign going less than nowhere. Did he focus on Vermont to try making it a "breakthough" state the way Duncan Hunter did in Wyoming last year?

Vermont was far and away Lugar's best performance of the campaign. The only other state in which he broke 5% was New Hampshire; he received 13.56% in Vermont, and won three townships. As to why he appealed to New Englanders, I do not know.

[Senator Ben]

Lugar doesn't strike me as the candidate who would have appealed to New England Republicans.

1976 Democratic and Republican Rhode Island:

(D: Uncommitted is Light Pink, Carter is Red, Church is Purple--Uncommitted won Rhode Island)

[realisticidealist]

1980 Rhode Island Democratic Primary (Purple is Uncommitted):

Kennedy apparently recieved no votes in several towns, leading to the strangely dark Carter townships.

I'd just like to report that Dave is beginning to upload primaries to the main site (not available yet though).

Looking forward to that

any problem areas where the people in that state haven't helped out much at all? or areas where state sources are needed? just curious, since there might be some areas where some member of the site has access to numbers

Yes, there are a few:

1. Geogia has been a particular pain. I have incomplete results from my secondary source for 1996 and 1992, and full results for 1976-1988. However, getting full results for 1996 and 1992 has been next to impossible. The state archives directed me to the SOS, who directed me to the counties...all 159 of them. Any help there would be amazing.

2. Anything complete for the 1980 Iowa Republican caucuses would be fantastic.

3. South Carolina's 1988 and 1980 Republican primaries were party run, so I need those results too.

4. A few random elections here and there are needed. 1980 Alabama Dem, 1976 Arkansas Dem, 1980 Pennsylvania. Anything detailed about caucuses, but that likely isn't happening.

I am currently waiting on data from 1976 Texas and Connecticut(?) to arrive.

Did you try through this for NM? http://www.nmstatelibrary.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=135&Itemid=306

No, I just went straight to the State Archives. They have the information there, I even know the correct boxes the files are in, but the guy there apparently doesn't know what election data looks like...
