Posted by admin on April 26th, 2010 and filed under election | 25 Comments »

October 15, 2008 lecture by Professor Martin Lewis for the Geography of United States Elections (GEOG 5) course. Professor Lewis covers the basic principle of political geography; the “red and blue” map of the United States; different ways of mapping U.S. presidential elections; differences in voting behavior between national elections and state and local elections; electoral geography in selected foreign countries.

Offered by Stanford’s Continuing Studies program, this course will last five weeks, and include a debrief after the presidential election. Each Wednesday, we will post a new recorded lecture on YouTube.

    well, Alaska and Hawaii combined are only 0.6% of the entire population of the US.

    plus, Hawaii is the most Democratic state in the Union (81% voted for Honolulu-born Obama). all Hawaiian counties voted Democratic as well. So, demographic studies of Hawaii barely apply to the rest of the country. Hawaii only contributes 4 electors (Alaska only 3) anyways.
