Dem-aligned candidate Chris Taylor's landslide victory in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election last night drew comparison's to Barack Obama's famous landslide victory in the 2008 presidential election. This is what the swing between the two elections looks like by county.

After a lot of research and time I have finished the map everyone has been waiting for. The 1878 Congressional Elections in Wisconsin by municipality. All 8 incumbents were re-elected although the 3rd (SW) and 4th (MKE, Ozaukee, Wash) were each within a point.

Among counties over 95% white, Kamala Harris did best in Wisconsin's Vernon Co. Located in the heart of the quirky Driftless Area, it's a veritable potpourri of artsy back-to-the-landers, family farmers and co-ops, a strong Norwegian presence & even a fast-growing Amish section.

It is finished!
This is a map of how every municipality in the WOW Counties voted in the 2024 presidential election.
Kamala Harris clearly gained ground this year. After all, she is the first Democrat to win a municipality in Waukesha County in decades.

Here are the same results but for State Senate districts. Harris won 18/33, despite losing statewide. The tipping point district was the 17th, where Harris won 1.3%. However, there were 4 districts Harris won by <2 and 6 by less than 3, so it's not a big advantage for Dems

Here are the initial presidential results by Assembly district in Wisconsin. Harris received the most votes in 49/99 districts. The tipping point district was the Wausau based 85th, which she lost by 0.6%, nearly the same as her 0.9% loss statewide.

Today I present to you my highest effort map yet, the 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court race by Municipality. Protasiewicz won by the largest margin that a dem-aligned candidate has since 2018, obliterating election denier and anti-choice former justice Dan Kelly.

A quick pronunciation guide for the #WIGOV field, as it stands, just because:
Gov. Tony EE-vurs
Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca CLAY-fish
Businessman Kevin NICK-el-sun
State Rep. Timothy RAM-thun

While the 1980s farm crisis helped Democrats make inroads in the Driftless Area, GOP strength was still easily visible in down-ballot races. An example of this was Wisconsin's AD96 in 1992, where state rep DuWayne Johnsrud (R) cruised to re-election in a Clinton +13 district.

#ElectionTwitter The 1932 Presidential Election in Wisconsin saw the traditionally Republican Badger State go to Franklin Delano Roosevelt by a substantial margin. FDR won massive margins in rural Wisconsin, which was hit hard by the depression, (1/4)

#ElectionTwitter Here is a regression graph that I made of the relationship between % Catholic by county in WI and the swing to JFK from 1956-60. The R2 is 0.57, which shows that there was a decent degree of correlation (Bottom left map by @Mill226).

Mainly comprised of the state's northeastern portion, Wisconsin's 8th congressional district has long leaned GOP at the house level. For example, one-term rep Mark Green destroyed his Dem opponent in 2000 in a seat that only went to Bush Jr. by 8, even carrying Menominee County.

I drew the 1970 census Wisconsin State Assembly map. You can enjoy the first map drawn without the old system county rules. In 1970 there were 23 Assembly Districts entirely in Milwaukee county. Today there are 13, the population distribution has changed a lot since.

Here's a map comparing the Presidential election in Wisconsin from 2000 to 2020. Biden and Kerry both won Wisconsin within a percentage point, but with massively different coalitions.
Wisconsin Forward retweeted
#ElectionTwitter I created a regression graph comparing how well JFK did in each county in the 1960 Wisconsin primary to the % of Catholics there. I found that there was a very strong relationship between the two variables, meaning that religion played a big role in the race.

Wisconsin's three northern most counties have seemingly defied trends by being heavily WWC and rural, but still pretty blue. Which one of them will flip last/is least likely to flip? (I'd weigh in, but I don't want to influence the results)
