Honest question, I clicked "silly" when I did this precisely because I was trying to indicate this was something that had not really happened but rather something speculative, but because you have the map software built in apparently, this is actually one I did by hand weeks ago.....ths was data entry, there is a much longer backstory but basically in 1964, Wallace tried being Goldwater's running mate, Goldwater told him no, but that was a fight for the state Democratic Party, and the thing about Wallace was he had one image nationally but to people actually dealing with him in Alabama it was a matter of practical actual politics.
Wallace essentially ruled with the heaviest political hand Montgomery had seen since Bibb Graves and Graves was a top down Governor, but he actually tried to build some coalitions, he wanted to be first but still.......you think of how Huey Long barks orders........and that is Wallace's first term.
Having spent my childhood in Alabama and once planned for a career there I know a bit of this better, but basically Wallace ran for President in 1964 on the Democratic ballot, this was a matter of consolidating control of the state party as in fact, he had been a Truman loyalist in 1948 when most of the state party backed Thurmond and kept Truman off the ballot and this advanced his career.
So Wallace knew what he was doing, Hill and Sparkman had been Truman loyalists in 1948.
And Wallace won the fight to keep LBJ off the ballot.
If LBJ won, I think the anti-Wallace forces would have coalesced around LBJ, in most Southern states LBJ won the local pols all opposed the civil rights bills but then would attack Goldwater on social security, TVA, etc.
This presumes that Wallace's nemesis De Graffenreid and the Birmingham business class throw in behind LBJ simply to embarass Wallace, and the Mobile County vote, having spent the better part of my life there I can say that with confidence, basically a combination of local politics and Brookley and then a third of the vote in the city of Mobile being black and the fact that a number of analyses show black voters gave Louisiana to Ike in 1956 as there were at least 150,000 black voters on the the rolls in the state
So I mainly wanted a map representation of this, so what would need to be done to it to make clear it was a silly race not a real one, and should show up as such?

Hi. I notice that you have posted many nyc results. I have boro by boro results for city offices back to the 1920s., but the county listings here for most years only list New York. I don't know how to add the other four. Can you help me?
Thanks

The process i've used is a little complex. I just move the NYC race to a container where the counties show, I enter the data, and then move it back to the original container. This is probably done a lot more easily with tabs on a desktop.
As for Borough results, you could just note the results in a description (especially if it's a race that isn't listed on the Wikipedia page of NYC mayoral results [Link] ), and someone can get around to doing what has to be done to get the results entered.

Hey RBH, thanks so much for clearing out those Washington/Michigan races. I added those when working on the "No Race Created" page and was working on adding the companion primary races before work commitments got in the way. Thanks again.

RBH: I might try to make something of the preview weekend since Newspapers.com changed their search page recently
I'll likely be a little busy this weekend. But if you are taking requests....
1966 CA Lt. Gov Primaries.
Incumbent Glenn Anderson was challenged by at least Thomas Wardell Braden in the D Primary.
Robert Finch was the Republican who beat Anderson in the General Election.
Not finding much in public online free sources. Thanks in advance if you get to it!

BrentinCO: 1966 CA Lt. Gov Primaries.
I believe this is what you're looking for [Link]
It's available in the 1966 Statement of Vote on HathiTrust.

You Rock Arthur! Thanks. I'll add the races now! And also bookmark Hathi. I've used it before but forgotten about that!

yeah, I expect most of the vote totals I find through Newspapers.com are gonna be unofficial except for areas whose newspapers report official vote totals (Louisville!)
I actually have an idea with the CA State Assembly elections to add more stuff pre-1960 but I haven't gotten around to it

Hey RBH QQ (just so I don't have to check all the races). Did you put the certified results in for all NM races?
Federal
State Senate
State House
Looks like maybe you didn't do County?
Thanks for doing all of it if you did. And happy to enter in any gaps.
