"For each of the 35 presidential elections from 1868 to 2004, this survey describes how the regions, states and counties responded to the issues and personalities of the presidential contest. In the first part of the book, an objective discussion of each election is accompanied by a table of the electoral vote, a map showing how the nation voted, and a table indicating where the parties received their highest level of support." "The second part consists of tables showing which party carried each U.S. county in each election. These charts reveal at a glance which counties reliably voted Republican or Democratic over the years - and which ones became "breakthrough counties" where the opposition party first convinced the electorate that it should break with the past. Such information, previously unavailable without extensive searching through dozens of sources, is crucial to an understanding of how regionalism and sectionalism have affected elections over the years."--BOOK JACKET. 20220725.
