Does anyone have any new/interesting county map ideas for me? I'm running out of original ideas so I'd welcome any suggestions.
What about comparing the performance of Eugene Debs in 1912 to Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primaries?Does anyone have any new/interesting county map ideas for me? I'm running out of original ideas so I'd welcome any suggestions.
I don't have access to county data for 1912, unfortunately.What about comparing the performance of Eugene Debs in 1912 to Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primaries?

That doesn't help since it doesn't tell me exactly what percentage of the vote Debs got in each county, other than the few he won outright.Well I found this on wikimedia

I don't think it does. I could maybe go to the individual county pages but that would be very time consuming so I'm not sure if I will. If I do, I'll probably try and show how every county where Debs got over 10% voted in the 2016 D primary.If you go to the 1912 election wikipedia page and go to each state's individual pages it should show that

Only for certain states though, and some appear to simply lump Debs and Roosevelt's votes together as "other". So I definitely won't be able to do a full map. I'm also working on another map at the moment but it's basically old hat.I decided to check, they have results by county
John Bel Edwards as the Democrat?
You guess the context. It's a 2020 scenario and it's not a primary result.
Green isn't a Democrat.John Bel Edwards as the Democrat?
1972 if Wallace won the nomination:
Nixon vs Wallace vs a liberal third party candidate:

While I MOSTLY agree with you, D.C would vote for Satan/Stalin if they were Democrats. Wallace will only win 60-low 70% of the vote there but he’ll still winConsidering Wallace had been a rabid segregationist just 4 years earlier, and still hadn't fully renounced his past views by '72, as well as the fact that Nixon was an extremely popular incumbent presiding over a decent economy, I'd say the map would be more like this (without third parties)
Nixon wins the black vote easily and wins DC as well. He also becomes the first Republican since Calvin Coolidge to win Boston and NYC. basically Wallace has very little appeal beyond the Deep South, and would have plausibly done worse than McGovern in both the Electoral College and (definitely) the PV.
