So I've been getting into two different areas lately: the Baltics, and Los Angeles. Why these two at the same time, you may ask? I don't know, but here's the other one. Since 1925, the Los Angeles City Council has used pretty much the same electoral system: fifteen members are elected from...

I like this a lot, but would Dublin still dominate as much ITTL? IOTL it and Belfast were about the same size by the time of partition, and while it might not get to quite that point without the Ascendancy promoting Belfast’s industries, a lot of the factors causing Belfast’s decline also aren’t...

Aren’t a majority of county-level officials in the Deep South still Democrats?

It certainly seems like the No vote lined up with the PQ/BQ vote to a very large extent. Also, as so often happens, I’m obliged to tell you that I have in fact mapped the later elections, I just haven’t posted all of them. Not that you should necessarily let that stop you.

I like the idea that the independent Cape would simply roll back all legislation passed after 1910.

That's right, yes. Imagine the Catholics in particular would've won a few more places otherwise.

And 1922. There's less to add to this, in part because I described it more thoroughly at the time and in part because I actually mapped it by parish at the time. I may at some point go over the results in detail to see if I can untangle the "other" category used for the percentage section of...

Okay, so here's the 1920 Constituent Assembly election in all its confusing glory. I'll copy-paste the description I wrote for the old map I made of it: A couple of finer points that I didn't deal with at the time, because the old map wasn't detailed enough to show them: the Latvian state...

And here's the basemap. Situation as of 1934 in Latvia and 1937 in Estonia. Thick lines represent counties in Estonia and electoral constituencies in Latvia, so they're obviously not too helpful here. I think I'll redo them at some point.

I'm working on mapping the 1920 Constituent Assembly election, and while the pre-reform Latvian orthography means it's somewhat slow going, I am most likely going to be able to do it. The report includes results by polling station for Riga, which unfortunately don't map to any known...

Yes.

Speaking of the Baltics, I finally found something I've spent a long time looking for. Unfortunately it's not as detailed as what I have for Estonia and Latvia, but some enterprising Wikipedian has in fact dug up a statistical yearbook that has all the Lithuanian election results up to 1926...

I'm making a new map of Latvia that's supposed to be to scale with the Estonian one - as so often happens with these things, the maps didn't align perfectly and so there's going to be a little bit of weirdness along the northern border, but I'm happy with it regardless. It's not quite done yet...

Uploading a version without the background directly onto here, just so it won't confuse future readers. Also featuring car barns - and no, you're not mistaken, there was no Division 2. Or to be more precise, Division 2, which was at 54th and San Pedro, closed in 1932, partly because there was...

And a quick test to see if Discord image linking works or not:

Here's a quick thing I mostly did for my own reference: the tram lines in Melbourne coloured by date of opening. As the key on the map says, this refers to the first time a tram line opened over a given alignment - a lot of them were originally built as either horse or cable tramways and have...

Is that something they wanted to do IOTL?

Wait, five-year terms?

We love a good bit of legislature packing.

I have no plans to do additional censuses, given how little things have changed I doubt it would be very interesting. To answer your question, the “Russification” policies pursued under Bobrikov weren’t primarily about making Finns speak Russian or moving Russians into Finland, but rather...
