Natural Law Stronghold County Supported Ron Paul
January 5th, 2008
Jefferson County, Iowa, was the stronghold of the Natural Law Party, while that party existed. The party was associated with the Maharishi and his Transcendental Meditation movement. That movement’s university is in Fairfield, the county seat and largest town in Jefferson County. In November 1992, Jefferson County has cast 22.8% of its vote for John Hagelin for president. In November 1996, Hagelin had received 21.3% in Jefferson County; in November 2000, Hagelin had received 14.7% in that county.
At the 2008 Iowa Republican caucus, the Jefferson County vote was: Ron Paul 298, Mike Huckabee 263, Mitt Romney 132, Fred Thompson 80, John McCain 38, Rudy Giuliani 25, Duncan Hunter 3.
At the 2008 Democratic caucus, the Jefferson County vote was: Barack Obama 682, John Edwards 545, Hillary Clinton 245, Joseph Biden 21, all others zero.
In the Republican caucus, Jefferson County was the only Iowa county to be carried by someone other than either Mike Huckabee or Mitt Romney. Thanks to Eric Garris for this news.
