DuPage party-switchers
Monday, Jan 9, 2006 - Posted by Rich Miller The map below shows party-switching households in DuPage County that went from being Republican to casting at least one Democratic primary ballot in the spring of 2004. Each green dot represents one of those households. Click on the image for a much better view.
There are about 25,000 of those households, according to political consultant Glenn Hodas, who put the map together not long ago. Hodas, who has a ton of fascinating maps at his website, thinks the reason for the switch, at least partially, was all the campaigning that Barack Obama did in DuPage before the primary. Feel free to add your own analysis below. Glenn has done such a good job gathering numbers that the folks who publish the Almanac of Illinois Politics bought much of their data from him for the 2006 edition, rather than spend the money to do it themselves. The edition is at the presses now, by the way, and should be out in a month or so.
