Need Some Help, Please. Googlers and Statisticians

[DUreader]

First off a thanks: Thankyou!

I am looking for the vote totals of the republican primaries.

I want to get an average of the protest vote which, I recall, was high in NH.

OK, after almost an hour googling, I am failing to find a state by state

compilation of primary vote stats.

I checked cnn and houston chron. and the most I found was a delegate count for chimpy.

My reasoning is that this would be a more accurate assessment than reported polls.

Thanks again.

1. Here are OK and NH links.

Slow going, but maybe checking the individual secretary of state sites may give you more info.

2. That may be the way, and a good sign that w*'s #s are not good

If chimpy were doing really well it would be plastered all over the media. Since it is hard to find I am guessing dumbya ain't sweeping the primaries

3. This site may have links to what you want.

Unfortunately it has not been updated recently.

4. Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but...

Wisconsin

Republican
Bush, George W. 158,677
Uncommitted 1,207


Democratic

Kerry, John F. 327,672 39.7%
Edwards, John 283,327 34.3%
Dean, Howard 150,682 18.2%
Kucinich, Dennis J. 27,232 3.3%
Sharpton, Alfred C. "Al" 14,685 1.8%
Clark, Wesley K. 12,687 1.5%
Lieberman, Joe 3,910 0.5%

Total 825,855

I left out some relatively inconsequential Dem candidate votes--LaRouche, Gephardt, etc. so the total is a larger number than the sum of the votes shown.

6. That is kind of what I am looking for

Hoping to find the stats for all states that have voted.

why the different format for pubs?

I am assuming you copy/pasted that.

9. I think I scraped this stuff up from a couple of different sites.

10. This Nation article has some numbers

http://www.thenation.com/thebeat/index.mhtml?pid=1228

"...Where did the renegade Republican votes go? While roughly ten percent of Republican primary voters statewide backed little-known Republicans whose names appeared on the ballot or simply did not vote, a remarkable 8,288 (12 percent) wrote in the names of leading Democratic presidential contenders.

The Democrat who won the most Republican primary votes was Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, who got 3,009 write-in votes, for 4.3 percent of the Republican primary total. Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean received 1,888 write-in votes for 2.7 percent. Retired General Wesley Clark got 1,467 Republican write-ins for 2.1 percent.

By contrast, Bush received only 257 write-in votes in the Democratic primary, where a total of 220,053 ballots were cast...."

There is also a link to the NH Sec. of State website where these numbers are also supposed to be, but that site seems to be down at the moment.

11. Thanks Aries, it was NH that first got me interested in this

Of course the 'liberal media' has be doing saturation coverage of

this republican party revolt, right?

That is why it is so easy to find a running total of all this information. / sarcasm
