One pattern I noticed with Michigan is that they always vote the same way as Connecticut. The last time they voted differently was 1940 where Connecticut went for FDR and Michigan went for Wendell Willkie. After that, they both voted for FDR in 1944, then opted for Dewey once and Eisenhower twice. Then they voted Democratic in the 60s, Republican in the 70s and 80s, and Democratic from 1992 on. They are the only two states with this particular voting pattern. I find it kind of strange because I consider Connecticut to be a libertarian state and Michigan a populist state. They have voted the same way for the last 16 elections though.
