2000 Presidential results by Cong. district

[shaqfu34]

Does anyone know where to find the breakdown of Bush vs. Gore votes for 2000 by congressional district.  This site seems to have it for some districts, but mostly it only has it broken down by county.

Thanks!

There should be every congression district color-coded.  If you want results within the district, Ic an't help you there.

Each district is color coded based on who won the district (bush or gore)....what i was looking for is the percentage for each district (i.e. in MD-01, Bush 52 Gore 46, etc...)

It appears that the only way to get this might be to figure out which counties are in each district and add those numbers for my total...which seems rather tedious

I don't think the raw numbers are posted on this site.  I can't help you there.  Sorry

go to:
http://www.ncec.org/redistricting/latest.phtml
It has a state by state listing of votes for 2000 called the 1992 districts and also what the votes are in the new districts (the 2002 districts)

Thanks....that is a great site!

Does anyone know of a way to take election results and determine the % of independents who voted for Bush in each congressional district?  I am assuming this would require a voter registration file, which i don't believe is available online anywhere...or am i wrong?

Thanks !

You probably couldn't know for sure, since you don't have any records on who voters are, except for where they live. You couldn't know how many registered voters actually voted, or if they voted for their own party, for example. I have heard that in the south, there ae more than a few registered Democrats who don't vote Dem in general elections.

In most Southern states Democrats still form a large majority of the states electorate, however a huge amount of these habitually split there tickets, with the more local the office, the more likely they are to vote Democrat.

exactly! b/c the national party does not represent the views of what Southern Dem used to be, the GOP does.  

Read Zell's book and you will see.

There are far more Bush districts held by Democrats than Gore districts held by Republicans.

Exactly.
Vote splitting has become automatic in much of the South, which is actually quite a good thing.
No one can take it for granted, and if they do they might get punished by the electorate.
