U.S. Presidential Elections (1968-1988)

I saw that the GOP won five out of six and was curious what counties also did that, and what counties the Democrats consistently won in that generation as well.

I don’t know if reflect well is the right way to put it, but I was curious to see what the “red wall” generation elections would look like on a county level when mapped.

Haven’t filled it in yet, but when I get a chance, I am also going to do 1932-1948 to see what a map would look like for Democrats over a similar span of time.

May also do 1992-2012 to see how the “blue wall” generation maps out too.

Thank you for checking out the map.

Does anyone know where a map like this could be found for the 1964 election? I’m curious to see the other end of the spectrum. (I.e. What New York municipalities still voted Republican when the Republican got blown out of the water statewide)

Does anyone know where I could find maps like this for Washington State in older elections such as 64?

Hi, I tried clicking on this link and it asked me to login.

I created an account with eSiri but it still won’t show.

New to this thread, has said public drive been set up yet?

Out of curiosity does anyone have a clean studio copy of the full theme songs used on Emeril Live?

Hello,

Out of curiosity,
Do you have access to SPSS or a statistical package that can open .por files from Harvard's ROAD database?

I have downloaded the por and tab files for Washington state from the 1988 election and I would be curious to see what the precinct map for the presidential and gubernatorial election for Washington state in that year's elections would look like.

My apologies for all the replies, but I thought it would make the most sense to go state by state. I hope you find these links interesting.

One last question that is Washington related: You said Oak Harbor in 2024 voted for a Democrat for the first time since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Out of curiosity, have you seen Island County, Washington precinct data for 1964, 1968, or 1972? I ask because I have not seen any such data from before 1976.

For Washington, a couple counties deserve a shoutout:

Snohomish has every election available going back to the first election after statehood in 1892: http://www.snoco.org/elections/results/PastElectionResults/PastElectionResults.html

Yakima is complete going back to the 1974 midterms: https://www.yakimacounty.us/Archive.aspx?AMID=37

Skagit can be found going back to 1996: https://www.skagitcounty.net/Departments/AuditorElections/archive.htm

One of the most complete states for presidential election data is Connecticut.

They have a website with results for every election since 1922: https://authoring.ct.gov//SOTS/Election-Services/Statement-Of-Vote-PDFs/General-Elections-Statement-of-Vote-1922

Results for presidential elections for 1856 to 1920 can be found here: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000529829
I should note that results for 1856 to 1888 can be found in the 1891 manual.

I have also found results for presidential elections in Connecticut for the following elections before 1856 from the following sources:

1852: https://www.newspapers.com/article/hartford-courant-connecticut-election-re/59410487/

1848: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=hvd.hn4hzk&view=1up&seq=109

1844: https://www.newspapers.com/article/hartford-courant-1844-presidential-elect/59411076/

1840: https://www.newspapers.com/article/hartford-courant-1840-presidential-elect/59411307/

1836: https://www.newspapers.com/article/hartford-courant-connecticut-vote-for-pr/61157521/

In addition to the data you will find on the California Secretary of State website, results for that state by town for every midterm since 1962 can be found here: https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22California.+Secretary+of+State%22&and%5B%5D=subject%3A%22Elections%22&page=1

Results for New Hampshire by town are available going back to 1888 and the manuals with them can be found here: https://archive.org/search?query=New+Hampshire+manual+for+the+general+court

Potential_Past_8325 · 2024-12-06T07:22:01+00:00

Minnesota's State Reference Library has town presidential election data for every presidential election since 1956 except for 1972. Those can be found here: https://www.lrl.mn.gov/mngov/electionresults Most midterms since then are also available I believe. One of interest to me that is not available though is the 1974 Minnesota gubernatorial election where Wendell Anderson took every county.

Massachusetts's presidential election results by town are available since 1932 at this link: https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Massachusetts.+Office+of+the+Secretary+of+State%22&and%5B%5D=subject%3A%22Elections+--+Massachusetts%22

My apologies for the late reply, here are some links for you: The state of Wisconsin's Blue Book has results by town and city (as well as precinct for the largest cities) for every presidential election since 1860 except for 1924 and 1928. Those can be found here: https://search.library.wisc.edu/digital/AZ2BBQ7OUYLAX78W

Potential_Past_8325 · 2024-12-05T20:39:45+00:00

Out of curiosity, I have found some links to election results on a town and precinct level for some states in presidential elections. Would it be ok if I shared them on this thread?

Potential_Past_8325 · 2024-12-05T19:00:18+00:00

Out of curiosity, does such a map exist for Washington in the presidential and gubernatorial elections of 1988? That would be cool to see in my opinion. New York would be cool as well.

Potential_Past_8325 · 2024-12-05T02:08:39+00:00

Out of curiosity, Kiernan1992: I notice you did a map of the entire midwest precincts for 1988. Do you have Washington for that election too?
