National Presidential Primary County and State Maps (1912-2020)

[Mr. Illini]

Here's a fun map. This is the 2012 primaries if the non-Paul anti-Romney vote were consolidated behind one candidate.



For those who don't know, the actual county map for 2012 is in the OP.

Really cool...look at those metro areas! Really highlights a cultural divide in the GOP!

[Mr. Illini]

Similar to what Miles crafted but I'll post anyway





And with annotation

[Mr. Illini]

Looks like rich Whites won it for Hillary.

As well as the black wards and suburbs

[Mr. Illini]

Similar to Miles' map, but with township boundaries. The Cook suburbs



Kasich  ran so strong in Evanston and New Trier. What's left of the famed Chicagoland "We're Republicans, but not THAT kind of Republican." Many of these now split tickets in November.

Kasich also won very liberal west-suburban Oak Park and River Forest.

[Mr. Illini]

And north suburban Lake County



And together



The North Shore stands out very clearly as being in the Kasich camp

[Mr. Illini]

As to answer a question posed earlier, I would say that Kasich absolutely won IL-9 and possibly IL-10

[Mr. Illini]

Incredible!

a) How were you able to consolidate these into a map (I have struggled in the past with how various counties handle results differently)

b) Do you have closeups of Chicagoland?

Thanks so much for these! Some of the most detailed statewide IL maps I have ever seen.

[Mr. Illini]

Nevermind, got close-ups here...

Notice that Kasich and Clinton were both very strong along the North Shore. Cruz was strongest around Wheaton (notoriously religious area). Sanders and Trump were both strongest in white, middle/working class areas NW and SW of the city.
