I found this on FairData's website:

WV Precinct Map 2000 (http://216.55.182.132/FairData/WV_Registration/map.asp?command=scope&annot=%7C&vis=&map=18&width=0&table=&scope=-80193335%7C38923975%7C293.284152%7C266.088713&zoomrect=&panshift=)

Other maps: http://fairplan2000.tripod.com/fairplan/InteractiveMaps.html (http://fairplan2000.tripod.com/fairplan/InteractiveMaps.html)

Include VA by precinct... and probably a few other states... only just found this so I've not checked.

Whoooooooooo Hooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can we get a shapefile for the precinict map?  That doesn't help.

Al, this site is awesome! Thanks!

There interactive maps... they should work on there own.

Anyhoo... comparing the WV precinct map to a geological map is interesting...

Just checked: there's a PA map as well

I mean, it doesn't help Dave at all, he can't make one of his maps out of the thing you just posted.

Yep there is. And I'm shocked my precinct went for Gore by over 75%! I thought maybe 50-60%, but 75%? wow.

Then again, turnout was around 20%. I bet the Bush supporters get out and vote this time.

True :(
But the maps are interesting anyways.

What's the deal with Grant county?

Civil War loyalities. That sort of thing happens a lot in the Border States (TN being a good example. Compare... Sevier with Jackson)

Hehe, mine was 50-60% Gore with a Bush island right next to me.  OUCH!  Funny though as you get father up in NE Philly, there is a huge swath of 75+% Gore.  This Bush "island" was a 1X1 block area and that was 50-605 Gore.  Funny the homes on it are not that expensive.  KP, the Northeast isn't as wild about Bush as you once thought eh?

My precinct in Bucks County 50-60% Gore.

if I had to say it was probably 53-45-2.

Though republican down ballot.

Yeah Shira Florida is trending Democrat huh?

Here is the ethnic breakdown of my town. Mine is W. Granfield Ave. This thing is to cool. :)

I couldn't find Bush/Gore results.

that doesn't prove anything except that Gore's support was in the more densly populated areas, which hence had smaller districts. duh.

My precinct's results:

Gore/Lieberman (DFL) 48.51%
Bush/Cheney (R) 34.72%
Nader/Laduke (G) 15.32%
Buchanan/Foster (Reform) 0.68%
Brown/Olivier (L) 0.43%
Phillips/Frazier (Constitution) 0.17%
Harris/Trowe (Socialist Workers) 0.17%

This is a cool site. Thanks Al for finding it.

Racial segregation in housing as bad as ever...

Worse - that's all it might prove if the state weren't as blatantly gerrymandered.

Yes but it's been that way for years and blacks love their own area of town as many have told me. They have no interest into moving into white neighborhoods or vice versa. Most I've talked to are happy where they are at. So if that's the case who should care?

Check out the turnout %, Handzus. The problem is a lot of these divisions are 40-50% Republican but they just didn't turn out to vote. I'm going to say that this election, the Republicans will turn out big for Bush in the NE.

 

Now inform me of when I thought that, Handzus. Bush won about 35% of the Northeast vote in 2000. That was probably the best he did in all of Philly but I don't think Northeast Philly residents are "wild" for Bush.

An important point correctly noted by FairData:
the strong prevalence of early/absentee voting
not broken down by precinct makes a lot
of the data suspect. If you look at their New Mexico
map for, say, Albuquerque, you'll even see blank
precincts that they don't trust the data from!
It's better this year: the Legislature passed a law mandating that
early/absentee voting be broken down by
precinct when it is reported.
There may finally be decent data from New Mexico! :)

No data on the site for IL. :(

Check this out and you can zoom in on Illinwai as we call it. :)

There's the social-economic mapper (covers all 50 states). I think/hope they'll get data up for all 50 states by november.

I did see that they have all the 2000 census tables at the block group level. I was hoping to see the voting and party ID stats at a scale smaller than the CD.

BTW, Here's a pair of maps from the site. Notice that minority population doesn't always correlate with median income.
