Full 1960-2012 election coverage on this link if you rather watch that election

[Mr. Smith]

Watching '76, '80, and '92.

Amazing how slanted the media are to one perceived side after '76, it truly is like an apocalypse.

Also amazing that apparently '48 had low turnout and it didn't hurt the Democrats and that may have been why Dewey lost...oh how times change.

Also amazing how in '76, there were theories even then about the top of the ticket's polling power... oh how things are the same.

These are the tipping point states that broke it one way or another as the TV calls it, not necessarily the closest one percentage wise.

1960: PENDING
1968: Missouri
1972: Ohio
1976: Wisconsin
1980: South Carolina
1988: Nevada
1992: Wisconsin
1996: New Mexico
2000: Florida
2004: Ohio
2008: California
2012: Ohio
2016: Pennsylvania

Interesting how only 2000, and 1988 managed to escape The Midwest. Although in the case of '08, Iowa was called first and California's insta-call just filled in the rest. 1996 was done in by a bunch of Midwest returns and New Mexico giving the final 5 EV.

Unfortunately, I found that '64 was blocked by CBS, and that's the only network archived on this channel.

 Otherwise, I've watched '60, a bit of '68, '76, '80, a bit of '84, a bit of '88, '92, '96, 2k, a bit of '04, and a bit of '08 over the past year or so.

Not anymore '64 is back up.

And it looks like Kentucky was the first to be called Democratic...oh how times have changed.
