County rankings of vote change by party

Original 12/7/2014 post, "Dunn County, Wisconsin: The Case of the Quadrennial Democrats", starts here.

2008-2010 drop in Democratic voter participation:  54% vs. 24% for Republicans.
2012-2014 drop in Democratic voter participation:  37.5% vs. 20% for Republicans.

Walker's vote total increased by 13% in 2014 compared to 2010.  Mary Burke exceeded Tom Barrett's vote total by 18%

Dunn County appears to have the largest variations for both Democrats and Republicans of all of the counties I've covered so far.

2008, 2010, and 2012 election figures from the (soon-to-be-snuffed?) Government Accountability Board.  The 2014 figures are preliminary.
