Happy Friday! In 1968, Virginia voters narrowly chose Richard Nixon for President. Like the rest of the South, sharp racial divides split the state's historically large Democratic electorate. Nixon had considerable support in the suburbs, medium-sized cities, and the Valley.
State Senator Ethan Corson (D-Prairie Village) announces run for Kansas Governor. Immediately the Democratic frontrunner with an endorsement from Gov. Kelly.
I’m running for Governor of Kansas. I’m a dad, State Senator, and proud product of our public schools. I’m in this race to fight for strong schools, lower costs, and opportunities for the next generation — so they can build a life right here. Join me: secure.actblue.com/donate/ethan-f…
Thoughts/comments/suggestions on this style for a WIP map? Don't mind the rotation
Long time since I made a map - but as promised - the amended and corrected precinct-level results of the 1984 election in Nassau County. Back then, LI was still wealthy but far less diverse. Reagan won the county by 24, only losing a few Jewish and nonwhite enclaves. Happy 4th!
I don't think Andrew Cuomo should be talking about touching people
Cuomo: “I’m very proud of the campaign that we ran … but tonight was not our night. Tonight was Assemblyman Mamdani’s night, and he put together a great campaign and he touched young people and inspired them. … I called him, I congratulated him.”
Here's a glimpse into the 1968 election in Virginia! Humphrey was popular in the Hampton Roads region, unlike the rest of Virginia. Black voters propelled Humphrey, while rural whites were nearly unanimous for Wallace. Nixon received support from wealthy suburbs.
It's out! 80 years ago, in 1945, when WW II ended, East Prussia was wiped out. Historically the area was German but with sizable Lithuanian, Polish, and Masurian minorities. I have digitized the *entire* East Prussian census of 1905. Read more for never before seen maps:🧵
Behold - The 1956 Election in Ohio, mapped by municipality. Eisenhower easily carried the state and almost every county, only losing historically Democratic Pike County in the south. Ike won most cities and towns, while Stevenson won small pockets of organized labor.
