From the conclusion of WWI, until the election of 2000, the winner of almost every Presidential election recieved more than twice the amount of votes in the Electoral College that his opponent did. The only 2 exceptions to this were in 1960 and 1968.

So what about the past two elections caused the states to divide so evenly when they haven't consecutively done that in recent history?
