Apropos of nothing, I got interested in geographically "concentrated" candidates- those third-party efforts who got an unusually large proportion of their national vote in one or two places. It might be interesting to list a few and figure out why this happens.
Evan McMullin (2016)
33 percent of all McMullin votes came from Utah; another 6 percent in Idaho.
Ralph Nader (1996)
35 percent of all Nader votes came from California; another 9 percent in Washington and 7 percent in Oregon. The West Coast gave Nader a majority of his votes nationwide. (For comparison, in 2000 when Nader was much more popular in relative terms, only 21 percent of his votes came from the West Coast)
Bo Gritz (1992)
27 percent of Gritz's votes came from Utah; another 17 percent in Louisiana and 10 percent from Idaho.
Henry Wallace (1948)
44 percent of all Wallace votes came from New York; another 16 percent in California.
Any others people can think of?
