Six months later, I have the 1936 presidential election by precinct in Virginia! . Roosevelt won Virginia by more than any presidential candidate since the Civil War. Opposition was limited, coming only from parts of the Blue Ridge and German pockets in the Shenandoah Valley.

Big thanks to @Thorongil16 for help with fixing up the missing data. Hope everyone likes the map.

The strongest precinct for Nixon was Weavers, in Floyd County. Floyd is the most ancestrally Republican County in Virginia, never voting for a Democratic Presidential candidate since 1880 (to this day). Nixon got 73, Humphrey 4, Wallace 0.

The strongest precinct for Humphrey was in Hampton, Aberdeen, a historic Black community. Humphrey received 826, Nixon 5, and Wallace 0.

The strongest precinct for Wallace was Museville, in Pittsylvania County. He took over 75% of the vote there.

Meanwhile, Wallace made inroads in Virginia's most culturally southern sections. Some interesting pockets emerged for Wallace in sparsely populated areas that had yet to be developed, like in Prince William and Loudoun, which are visible on the map.

If anything, this map is an adequate demographic map of Virginia in the late 60s. The dark blue areas west of the Blue Ridge (SWVA) were strong labor areas (miners and such), while the east was almost entirely Black communities, or staunchly liberal areas (see Reston).

While Wallace's appeal was broad in rural Southside and Tidewater, it was absent elsewhere. He was off-putting to that professional class of voters that comprised much of Virginia's new electorate. Furthermore, he was practically absent on precinct tallies west of the Blue Ridge.

1968 would be the beginning of a 40-year winning streak for Republicans in Virginia. The state's growing suburbs were made up of an increasingly professional and fiscally conservative demographic that aligned well with the Republican Party of that time.

Happy Friday!. In 1968, Virginia voters narrowly chose Richard Nixon for President. Like the rest of the South, sharp racial divides split the state's historically large Democratic electorate. Nixon had considerable support in the suburbs, medium-sized cities, and the Valley.

Yesterday, Braddock Dist. Supervisor James Walkinshaw easily cleared the Dem field for VA-11's special election. With estimated boundaries around the voting places, I mapped how voting went on Saturday. Walkinshaw faced hardly any opposition east of the Fairfax County Parkway.

Spotted in Hanover County

@samshirazim @JMilesColeman.

The line to vote at the Fairfax county government center is crazy. Probably close to a half mile long
