If you have a big version of the Election 2000 results by county map(s), please post it on this thread. I need it for a class presentation where I am defending the Electoral College. If you have any other similar maps, with the division of states by Electoral votes, which states each candidate won, etc., please post here. Thanks in advance! It is really appreciated!
I had the file on our computer and uploaded it to our site. There is some other stuff there also.
url is webpages.charter.net/HarrisfamilySC/election.jpg
I think I typed the url correctly but I usually use the right mouse button so I don't have to remember.
The blue areas to the South and West are primarily hispanic, many of whom are illegals but voted democRAT anyway.

And here are my questions:
Why did Gore lose BOTH his home state of Tennessee AND Clinton's home state of Arkansas in landslides (Gore lost TN by 3.87% and AK by 5.45%)?
Do the voter's in those states know something important that the rest of America doesn't know?
Has any elected President ever lost his home state?
-------------------------------
Let us know how it goes. The more bitter the reaction, the better you did!
Think about those blue area and you can pretty well figure it out..
Ventura County is between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties, both of which voted for Gore, on the horizontal coast of CA, with these three counties surrounded by Bush supporting counties. Starting from the south, Ventura is the fourth coastal county after San Diego, Orange, and LA counties, and is about 1/4 of the way up from the southern end of the state.
I would LOVE to see one of these from 2004. Anyone seen one of those?
Just found it:
