Delaware
Connecticut
West Virginia
Washington
Missouri

Nice sig, as well!

I don't have a signature.

I think I understand Delaware and West Virginia (sqrt(2)/2), the other references are lost on me.

Oh, I didn't realize that. These results are beautiful, too, but my wanted result can be written as one sign.

^If you take percentage numbers, you get a golden ratio for the Missouri result.

For Delaware I see that the digit sum of the percentages for both the Democrat and Republican are 19, though I don't think that's it
I have no clue for the others.

Thanks for the links. I see that Carnahan was only 310 votes short (out of almost 2 million cast) of matching the Golden Ratio. By comparison, duPont needed 411 more votes out of 225K to get to 1/sqrt(2) of the total and Manchin needed 229 more votes out of 688K to get his 1/sqrt(2).

You guys are right. I was looking for my favorite number: φ.
φ is so beautiful that leaps out at me in jig time.
I hope there will soon be a second "golden election".

My favorite number is 69

Then you might love this result.
