Political Geography, Part 4: The West

by sawolf Daily Kos September 11, 2012

This is the fourth and final part of my series looking at the political geography of elections at the state level. In it, I present maps and data for the average of statewide races from 2004 to present by county for each state and by precinct where data is available. This is to give you a better visual idea of which parts of a state are more or less friendly to each party. Additionally, I compare Obama's 2008 performance to the average to see which areas he performs better or worse than would be expected by a local Democrat. You can find part 1 on the Northeast, part 2 on the Southeast, and part 3 on the Midwest here.

All county level data is from Dave Leip's Atlas while all precinct level data was taken from Dave's Redistricting App. You can click on most of the maps for a larger image….

(Partisan Average includes 2004, 2006, and 2010 senate and 2006 and 2010 governor.  Note population % on Maui and Kauai are transposed.)

There wasn't really much point in including Hawaii since it only has 4 counties with data, but here it is. Dems dominate pretty much everywhere in the state, but do better outside of Honolulu. Likewise, native son Obama massively over-performed what a federal candidate "should" get, but did so to varying degrees compared to what a typical blowout looks like.

(Note: We did not include the color coded geographical maps provided by ‘sawolf’ because he mixed up the counties and had the color coding wrong. )
