I know that the TX Democratic Party collapsed badly in the 90s under King George, but I would've never guessed that it is the most Republican state on this map. Oregon being more Democratic than MA/CT/CA/HI is also surprising. People often underestimate how Atlas red OR is. Oh, and R.I.P. Virginia Republicans Great work, thanks.

MA/CT/CA/HI have all had Republican governors recently (MA has one now).

I'm guessing this includes US Senate elections? Otherwise Oregon would be some shade of red.

It includes Presidential, US Senate, any statewide executive, and at-large house elections (though that isn't applicable in any case). If it didn't include US Senate elections, it would be 1988! I didn't realize how bad of shape the Oregon GOP is in.

Should Idaho be the D >30% pink?

It elected a Democratic Superintendent of Public Instruction in 2002.

Damn, I always thought Superintendents were nonpartisan offices.

I think limiting this to Governor and Senator (and perhaps Presidential elections) might be more relevant. The number of statewide elected offices that are partisan varies widely, but every state has a Governor, two Senators, and votes in Presidential elections.

I agree.

Same scale.

Democrats:

Utah - 1980
