Michigan results by county. Time to make Detroit its own country.

Secretary of State ^ | 11-3-04

840,000 votes in Wayne County. That's about 80,000 increase from 2000 despite big population drops. I think Detroit stole this one.

I haven't seen the city/township breakdowns yet, but the county breakdowns are similar.

The only county we won in 2000 and lost in 04 was Alger in the UP which leans dem.

We picked up Roscommon, Clare, Alpena, Calhoun, Iron, Manistee, Macomb, and Monroe.

Overall, we picked up 100,000K, but it wasn't enough because of Detroit and Washtenaw Counties.

No just make Wayne County its own state

Same sad story in PA. We picked up hundreds of thousands of new votes, but watched Philly, Delco, and Montco piss it all away.

I still think we are underperforming in Lancaster.

Hear, hear. Seems to me that they should fit right in with Canuckistan...

BTW, I'm in Livonia right now on business, and spent the day in Detroit. Feels like a different country than the west Michigan I'm used to.

It was a spillover from the Pistons' win..

And if California could sever all the counties touching the Bay, we could manage Los Angeles and it wouldn't affect our Electoral College votes.

thanks for the post dan. oakland county surprised me. what happened? why did it go blue (hard to say as an msu alumn)?

[PilloryHillary]

I live in Livonia, and there are tons of Bush signs in my neighborhood. Unfortunately, we are in Wayne county. It was a lot closer here in Michigan than most people expected. I truly thought Bush would win Michigan, but these numbers are a start....even with the fraud in Detroit.

Michigan results were awfully slow in coming in. I recall reading about blatant destruction of ballots in 2000. I'm not so sure we lost this one but i doubt there is much that can be done beyond planning for 2008.

Has anyone done a red-blue county map for 2004 like the one for 2000?

[thoughtomator]

Holy Wayne County, Batman!

The GOP has to change that figure if it hopes to win there.

[Moleman]

Hi Dan, I mentioned this on a few earlier threads, if Wayne county (ie Detroit) would have been been closer Bush would have won Michigan. Detroit is THE ONLY reason sKerry won Michigan. In my city (part of Wayne County) we lean heavily toward the GOP. GHWB has visited a neighbor the late Heinz Prechter in 1992 for a fund raiser at hios estate. Anyhow below are the reports from Grosse Ie in Wayne county, were not all blue!

Grosse Ile Registered Voters: 8507
Grosse Ile Ballots Cast: 7112
Turnout Percentage: 83.7%
President Bush 4435 - 63.1%
sKerry 2594 - 36.9%

Oakland's been blue since 96.

The biggest reason is Southfield, Oak Park, and Pontiac.

47 LIVINGSTON

Bush
62.79%

Kerry
36.26%

Thank you Livingston County! I love this place.

[Chipper]

YES!!!!! I live in a red county again...Calhoun county came through!!!

Self-congratulation over. Can we give Detroit to Canada? Keep the suburbs, but send the city to the Canucks. I mean we give them a real hockey team, a baseball team to make up for losing Montreal. We get to live in a free state. Even trade.

[winodog]

Its for this reason that I cant wait to see a precinct map. A ocean of red with tiny scattered blue islands.

The county map is good but I love the precinct map.

[Becki]

I've said for years we need to just build a wall around it and forget it.

Either that, or chip it away and set it afloat.

We need a plan to turn the

BLUE CITIES

into PURPLE CITIES.

They go 4 to 1 for the Democrats... but we must have decent people living there who understand Republican values and concerns, they cant all be corrupted.... right?!?!?

[mlocher]

dan, thanks... i forgot about those 3 cities.
