Title: Millard county utah, where Obama only beats Baldwin by 3 to one
Post by: rob in cal on February 01, 2009, 04:13:57 PM
I wonder if Millard county Utah has the record for any county with over 4,000 votes in which a major party candidate (Obama in this case) defeats the conservative constitution party by a ratio of three to one.  Obama got about 16% of the vote, Baldwin 5.5%.

Could be.  Closest contender I've seen for Millard's accomplishment is Franklin County, Idaho with a 4:1 ratio

Didn't a right-wing third party in 1992 almost beat Clinton in some Idaho counties?
