Bush Country 2004: U.S. Map of the Bush Vote by Counties

Well I've done a search of the posts here at FreeRepublic to see if this has been posted already and I found nothing, so I want to put it up for everyone to see.

Take a look at the map of the U.S. showing which counties returned a majority for Bush this past Tuesday:





I think this puts a real exclamation point on the Bush victory. There is more to the Bush margin than votes alone, not that the 51% - 48% split is insignificant by any means. There is also geography. What does this map show? It looks to me like Bush carried counties whose total geographical area accounts for 85% or more of the total land mass of the continental United States.

I always liked geography.

Have been trying to find the 2000 Map so we can lay them side by side for comparrison.

So far I have not found a copy.

I like your much much better! Unfortuniately this should have been fixed during the 2000 election. We'll forever be associated with red, just like every socialisted bigoted group is called Right-Wing!

Posted a hundred times and I hope it gets posted a hundred more.

Amen!!

Here is a link to the Election data county by county. Colors are reversed. Bush is blue and skerry is red. It has the population, 2000 results and 2004 results.

Looking at the map, it appears only the BLUE areas are the ones "DIVIDED". Not the entire U.S., as the talking heads on tv are saying.

I, too am gratified to see so much red on the map and know that we have some sanity in the WH for another 4 years.

However (and please, PLEASE don't mistake this for troll stuff. I only speak from concern that we not get too complacent), cornfields and cacti don't vote: people do. I saw one map based on population centers that was much more realistic (but still very gloatworthy), and it still made the point that we have some work to do if we want to stay happy in election 2008.

precisely.

GOOD POINT......REMEMBER 1994 WHEN WE THOUGHT THE SAME AND RELAXED?

thanks for posting this map. I wonder how kerry got so many votes from so little blue on the map.

Kerry Country! Very good! LOL

The following is one reporters attempt to divide a Democratic County into precincts to see what it really looks like. Kind of interesting.

In talking to my wife (a life long democrat) about red states versus blue states and red counties versus blue counties she told me it just showed the failure of the education system to bring people up to a uniform level of understanding of what it means to be a citizen.

Population. That's why these maps are a little deceptive. We vote by body not square miles. Way over 50% of the population lives in and around urban centers.

Does anyone have the ability to show the Universities on the U.S. map and then impose it over this one? It would be very interesting.

You need to recheck which are the welfare states and which ones are not. Red states are generally on the receiving side of Federal largesse.

The Feds sending money to Ingalls Shipyard, in Pascagoula, Mississippi to build a new destroyer is not the same as sending in money in Welfare and AFDC payments to an unemployed unwed mother of six in Baltimore, Maryland.

Instead of by county, I'd like to see one by Congressional district.

Thank you for locating this map!
I'd posted previously looking for such a presentation of the data.

The other maps are deceptive in that they only differentiate between 49.9% and 50.1%...

[King Prout]

I was not able to find one.

[King Prout]

I had also posted requesting leads to data from which I would have generated such a map. one of the nice people who replied dropped this baby in my lap :)

[Brian328i]

Sorry but your map is WRONG!

Getting irritated that Flathead County in Montana keeps showing up as Blue when it went for Bush 67%-30%

[Goldwater4ever]

Looks like the blue areas have higher rates of murder, rape, high school dropout, abortion, and welfare.
