Voting patterns in Pleasant Valley primaries compared
The Pleasant Valley precinct shows three primaries with Republican leads but general elections tilted. In 1932 Roosevelt won big despite a Republican primary margin. 1934 and 1986 results reflect shifts. County races favored Republicans, while Democrats held general election wins with comfortable margins. Party switching occurred across the three primaries, and forecasts remain uncertain without party platforms and candidates.
