Inspired by this thread:

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=216231.0

These are the results of how often each state voted for each party in the 17 elections following World War II, from 1948 onwards (from 1960 onwards for Alaska and Hawaii, from 1964 onwards for Washington, D.C.):



Republican:
Democratic:
Kansas: 94.12%
Washington, D.C.: 100%
Nebraska: 94.12%
Hawaii: 85.71%
North Dakota: 94.12%
Minnesota: 82.35%
South Dakota: 94.12%
Massachusetts: 76.47%
Alaska: 92.86%
Rhode Island: 76.47%
Arizona: 88.23%
Maryland: 64.71%
Idaho: 88.23%
New York: 64.71%
Indiana: 88.23%
Pennsylvania: 58.82%
Oklahoma: 88.23%
Washington: 58.82%
Utah: 88.23%
West Virginia: 58.82%
Wyoming: 88.23%
Wisconsin: 58.82%
Montana: 82.35%
Connecticut: 52.94%
Virginia: 76.47%
Delaware: 52.94%
Colorado: 70.59%
Illinois: 52.94%
South Carolina: 70.59%
Michigan: 52.94%
Tennessee: 70.59%
Arkansas: 47.06%
Texas: 70.59%

Alabama: 64.71%

Florida: 64.71%

Kentucky: 64.71%

Mississippi: 64.71%

New Hampshire: 64.71%

Louisiana: 58.82%

Missouri: 58.82%

Nevada: 58.82%

North Carolina: 58.82%

Ohio: 58.82%

Vermont: 58.82%

California: 52.94%

Georgia: 52.94%

Iowa: 52.94%

Maine: 52.94%

New Jersey: 52.94%

New Mexico: 52.94%

Oregon: 52.94%

Arkansas: 47.06%



As you can see, Arkansas is tied between going Democratic eight times (1948, 1952, 1956, 1960, 1964, 1976, 1992, 1996), going third party once (1968) and going Republican eight times (1972, 1980, 1984, 1988, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012). It voted for a third party once, for George Wallace's American Independent Party in 1968.

My first thought was "What kind of Presidential race would make this map?"

1968 if Wallace didn't run?
Maybe, but both candidates lose states on this map. Humphrey loses Maine and Texas, while Nixon loses Delaware, Wisconsin, and Illinois.

Bill Clinton vs. Ronald Reagan in a strong Dem year?
It's still a pretty big Republican win, and I'd expect Clinton to do a lot better in the South (and Reagan to do better in the West).
