Wow nice picture, how is it that such a small population of the likes of california and new york was won by kerry, from the picture it seems like it would have gone to bush. I guess the population density in the cities is so great that it doesnt matter what the suburbs hold against Los Angeles and New York City, and Philadelphia. Good Job Bush

dude..pop vote dif...around 3.5 million...thats close...i think you forgot population density.....oh well. it doesn't matter...

is this the actaul map of the election? because I saw a map exactly the same that sited HISTORICAL data by county that looked like that... I am just wondering if this is up to date data and if so ... how are those the final counts so fast?

in comparing both gore - kerry areas I see the differences in the maps so I recant my previous posts... but does it say something that the areas still grey on the map are historically democratic? Meaning why do those specific areas take longer to get the vote in? Just a thought

Thats a interesting map alot more red in Cali then I would have thought but thats not where the most of the population is.

The question I have is if the blacks in the deep south were for kerry, why not more counties?

But the totals....

We I can see the trend, the big cities will go democratic, all except maybe Cinncinnatti!

Ohio, you ROCK!

Edit take a look at this statistic


The only places where Kerry won more than 60 percent of the vote: Massachusetts, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia. Bush topped 60 percent in 14 states.

newsflash:

Bible Humpers decide elections

Uh that would be me and many other believers! Yes we did not nessesarily decide it but 4 million evangelicals came out that didnt in 2000, I think the difference was the hispanic vote, 43% Bush is unprecendented.

Bush won the election by a million or so votes, that means that 54 million people voted against the man, which means there is a pure divide in this country. You don't divide the country by land you idiot, land doesn't vote, people do.

Personal note to OBL/AQ: Kerry won Fulton County! When you start attacking the Red States--and we all know that Georgia is one of the reddest of the red--SPARE ATLANTA! We did everything we could!

Well calling me an idiot doesnt make your liberal POS candidate a winner, this thread was to show you that the populous areas (Urban) went Kerry, but since only a "idiot" as you would say, would vote for Bush, then you live in the land of idiots, LOOK AT THE MAP....

Bush won handily! There is still hope for America and the liberals have been set back another 2 years at least!

this is why the electoral college exists, so the populated areas dont control the vote, this shows it is working as intended.

THat is so true....


Plus I have updated the map, the lastest is out.

I would say that "winner takes all" system is the main idea. Without it the electoral college would be useless

Well this way Montana doesnt have # forced on it by New York and the big cities, if they want a candidate to win, they must find a middle of the road one...

Actually I like the electoral College, the founding Fathers really knew their stuff.

Yes, unfortunately, that's true. I concur with the UK Daily Mirror front page form today. If you haven't seen it, look it up.

Ok, Ed...since you've got this totally broken down.....you may the best one to explain something that's been puzzlin' me..

What was the final numbers on the District of Columbia. Last I saw was something like 90% Kerry, 9% Bush. Was that the final count? Why so heavily Kerry? ( No rhetoric please...just the facts, man)

Well I dont think it was 90%, but the population of DC is almost all African American, but lots of them did vote Bush. In the End, 80% didnt vote for Bush....DC has never went republican in the last 50 years.

I was wrong...


Kerry Dem 183,876 90 %
Bush Rep 19,007 9 %
Nader Ind 1,318 1 %

Do you have access to the maps for 1996/1992. Curious as to how they look in comparison. Thanks in advance if you do.
