Why do you color Maine as part of Massachusetts, but not West Virginia as part of Virginia?  (and in 1789 Kentucky as part of Virginia)

What's this prove? That we would have had the same presidents?

Fixed.

Basically, I just want to see what elections would no longer be victories with today's electoral college. It'll be more interesting as we get into modern elections.

Sounds like a fun idea but so far you haven't come up with a single one.

Oh. Sorry, you're right, I overlooked that one. Perhaps Jefferson would have sent the country on a better course had he been the second president.
