These maps indicate how far the vote in each state deviated from the national average - for example, Ohio is classified as 4% Republican in 2000 (3.5% for Bush vs 0.5% nationally for Gore) and 0.3% Democratic in 2004 (2.1% for Bush vs 2.4% nationally for Bush).
Another way of looking at these maps is to answer the question of "Who would win if the national vote was a tie?" It assumes a uniform swing of course, but it may interest the obsessed.
For the sake of simplicity, third-party wins (1924, 1948, 1960, 1968) are not shown on these maps - just Republican vs Democratic.
1916 - Hughes wins, 277-254
1920 - Harding wins, 283-248
1924 - Coolidge wins, 283-235-13
1928 - Smith wins, 304-227
1932 - Hoover wins, 272-259
1936 - Landon wins, 305-226
1940 - Willkie wins, 318-213
1944 - Dewey wins, 320-211
1948 - Dewey wins, 299-194-38
1952 - Eisenhower wins, 285-246
1956 - Stevenson wins, 272-259
1960 - Kennedy wins, 300-223-14
1964 - Johnson wins, 298-240
1968 - Nixon wins, 302-191-45 (no change at all from the real result)
1972 - Nixon wins, 273-265
1976 - Ford wins, 284-254
1980 - Carter wins, 297-241
1984 - Reagan wins, 306-232
