Here's 1932 () Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-1956 Post by: bgwah on October 01, 2011, 02:30:29 AM Did you make the map outlines yourself?
Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-1956 Post by: Jackson on October 01, 2011, 02:43:29 AM Yes. Using this http://www.sos.wa.gov/legacyproject/ShiftingBoundaries/maps/1931-map.pdf (http://www.sos.wa.gov/legacyproject/ShiftingBoundaries/maps/1931-map.pdf) map as a base

Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-1956 Post by: Jackson on October 01, 2011, 04:43:01 PM It just so happened to cover the University of Washington, which makes it seem all the more surprising from a modern perspective.

Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-1956 Post by: greenforest32 on October 06, 2011, 01:13:14 AM Any chance of continuing this series up to 2010? :D
Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-1956 Post by: Jackson on October 06, 2011, 03:12:37 AM Perhaps. I might just do senatorial elections though.
Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-1956 Post by: Mr.Phips on October 06, 2011, 06:09:33 PM Look at the change from 1952 to 1956. Eisenhower was said to have been the only reelected President whose party fared so poorly downballot.
Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-1956 Post by: Jackson on October 06, 2011, 06:32:19 PM Washington was always one of Eisenhower's worse states. Also the Republicans had been in charge of the state since 1946, and people were ready for a change.
Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-1956 Post by: Jackson on March 18, 2012, 01:16:16 AM I've decided to continue this series to the present day, starting with 1958.

() Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-2010 Post by: Jackson on March 18, 2012, 02:12:37 AM And 1964. I'll post more later; anyone have any questions/comments?
() Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-2010 Post by: Jackson on March 18, 2012, 03:23:20 PM Here is 1966.
() Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-2010 Post by: bgwah on March 19, 2012, 01:21:34 AM I guess I already knew Seattle was split like that back then, but it's still interesting to see in map form.

Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-2010 Post by: Jackson on March 26, 2012, 02:05:25 PM Here is 1968.
() Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-2010 Post by: Jackson on March 26, 2012, 02:08:59 PM And here is 1970.
() Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-2010 Post by: Seattle on March 26, 2012, 03:01:38 PM Looks like 1970 was the year Dems really start to penetrate into North Seattle.
Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-2010 Post by: Jackson on March 27, 2012, 01:08:57 AM I believe that this next map will show that supposition to be accurate.
1972 () Title: Re: Results of Washington Legislative Elections,1932-2010 Post by: LastVoter on March 30, 2012, 02:52:58 PM Hmm, so tri-cities used to elect democrats?

Franklin County especially wasn't bad territory for Democrats, especially on the state level, 'round then.

Franklin County especially wasn't bad territory for Democrats, especially on the state level, 'round then. It's a good question. Benton County wasn't especially Dem-friendly, but it already had Hanford. I'm not sure what Pasco was like (although it actually had a significant black population!) It's probably not the farmland that was Dem, judging by neighboring counties. I know there's a 1968 precinct results book around somewhere. |
