electoral tak

On election night 2020, Chris Stirewalt mentioned , 'we've all seen the presidential map where you can walk from coast to coast on red counties.'  1892 was the first election in which it was possible for a party to win a series of contiguous counties from one coast to the other. Beginning with that election, these are the elections in which one nominee or another won a series of contiguous counties from coast to coast. (It is possible for both nominees to do so, but this has never happened.) If the winner of the election was a different nominee, he or she is named underneath. 1896: William Jennings Bryan (election winner: William McKinley ) 1904: Theodore Roosevelt 1912: Woodrow Wilson 1916: Woodrow Wilson 1920: Warren Harding 1924: Calvin Coolidge 1928: Herbert Hoover 1932: Franklin Roosevelt 1936: Franklin Roosevelt 1940: Franklin Roosevelt 1944: Franklin Roosevelt 1948: Harry Truman 1952: Dwight Eisenhower 1956: Dwight Eisenhower 1960: Richard Nixon (election winner: Jo...

County flips from 1920 on

In this post, we'll look at the counties that switched from each major party to the other in every election from 1920 on (as well as a few earlier elections). In some cases, there is a source that gives the number of counties, in which case I link to the source. In some cases, I deduce the number of counties that one of the nominees flipped, from the number that the other nominee flipped and from the number of counties each party carried in the previous election (the figures for which are here ). These can be slightly (hopefully only slightly) off for a variety of reasons, so in these cases, the figure is preceded by a tilde. In cases where I count the counties myself, my principal source is the Crystal Ball database linked here (although I correct for any errors I spot, of which there are a non-trivial number; Wikipedia takes precedence but is not practical to use simply to count turnover counties in a given election).  We'll look at the percentages of each party's counti...
