I really don't understand these western countries which voted for Obama in 2008 yet gave Paladino a massive landslide. I really don't get it.

Paladino's from there.

I know. I just don't understand why home turf effect could be so strong. It would be like McGovern winning SD in a landslide in 1972.

It's not just home-turf effect, it's the metro-West cleavage. The two combined were responsible for delivering such huge margins to Paladino.

But where does this cleavage come from ? A sort of "western alienation" feeling ?

Do you have a map of the 2010 Senate election (the Schumer seat) ? I'd like to see what a colossal dem landslide translates into town-wise.

That's the extra-special feature. In those CDs there was a Democrat running unopposed. Rather than color every town in with the darkest shade of red, I calculated the percentage of the Democratic candidate against the total number of ballots cast - elsewhere the R/D candidates' percentages are calculated against the total number of valid ballots cast - and colored the towns accordingly, shading them in purple to distinguish from the districts where a Democrat won every town but ran with Republican opposition.

That's a nice idea. Smiley

Fuzzy, I've got another request for you. Could you compile a precinct map for the 2008 presidential election ? That would be great. I don't know if you have all the data, but do with what you have. Smiley

What? You may have the wrong thread, my friend.

*facepalm*

I'm sorry ! You're both awesome mapmakers, so I got confused... I meant you, of course.

Are you looking for a precinct map of the whole state? If so, keep in mind:

1. I will be very busy the next few months. A map like that will take me a very long time.

2. I doubt that my laptop computer - the only one I have reliable access to - is capable of accommodating a MS Paint file as large as would need be to show adequate detail.

I'll consider exploring that this summer, if I have sufficient time and energy.

Maybe you could do that county by county ? Smiley

Great DE map, BTW.

Edit : don't you have a bigger format ? I barely manage to read the candidate's name even with right click.

I don't. Maybe you could suggest something - I've tried a number of ways to upload the images, and I can't seem to make them any larger.

I'm sorry, I don't know much regarding picture uploads...

There seems to be a pretty stark contrast between Vermont/Western MA and the neighboring towns in Eastern NY... How comes?

Ah, didn't know there was a major geographic divide adding to the official border. Very interesting!

Interesting map! Smiley Looks like Northern NJ saw a further polarization, with dem areas getting even more dem and reciprocally. The picture is a big more blurred in southern NJ though.
