Title: Every county that has supported a third party candidate for President since 1912 Post by: Chunk Yogurt for President! on September 18, 2019, 09:19:28 PM ()
The counties in SD, MT, and ID aren't perfect because the boundaries used to be very different.

Didn't Perot tie Morris County, Kansas, with H.W. Bush in 1992? I think you missed that on your map.

Interesting. And 2 of them have not even been states for this entire equation

So 8 Title: Re: Every county that has supported a third party candidate for President since 1912 Post by: TDAS04 on September 19, 2019, 10:19:54 AM Good work, but I personally question whether TR in 1912 should count. In reality, there were two Republican candidates that year, as there were two Democratic candidates in 1960. It doesn't make sense for such places as Riley County, KS, get their "perfect records" of voting Republican ruined because they supported Teddy in 1912 (he even came in second place nationwide).
Anyway, my nitpick is not take away from the excellent work you did on the map.

Boyd County, Nebraska tied in 1912 but voted for La Follette in 1924. Holt County, Nebraska, which tied for La Follette in 1924, has never seen a third party candidate do better than a tie.

So 8 I actually changed the map to include part of Alaska (though the Alaska map isn't perfect because Atlas uses Congressional districts instead of boroughs.

I see now. Well at any rate, this is a good map. |
