New electoral vote calculator

Nice work. 

Can we get options & shades for less than 30% ?

Might we possibly please have a link to the old map generator somewhere on the new map generator page?

There's some great stuff about the new map but major drawback I've noticed is that the shades don't correspond to the maps on the main site, and so I can't easily compare to the IRL results and it's harder to recognize what the shades represent.  So for now I will probably save the new map for when I want to do things like change EVs.

Can we get a way to use the old fashioned EV calculator? This is cool and a vast improvement, but I wanna also have access to the old maps for the sake of simplicity and versatility.

  US Election Atlas: Election Results, and scroll down to Electoral College Calculator for 2020.
Still available.

Well yeah, but that's a lot of clicks.

It's a grand total of two.

from the forum it's 3, since there isn't a direct link to the main uselectionatlas.org homepage.  have to use "Election Results" then "Home" then "Electoral Calculator"

Meant to do just a small feature update for adding custom labels but somehow have gotten roped into much more in trying to add pre-1840 elections. I think I see why Dave didn't do those years. It's a lot of work to actually get it right. Electoral votes in that time period start getting assigned in all sorts of ways the further you go back, with the common thread being that the winner of the state does not always get all the EVs. So now I'm basically adding faithless electoral vote support way ahead of schedule so as to support pre-1840 maps.

On a side note, would anyone be interested in extending the territory maps on Wikipedia? It's SVG format, and most of the territories are done, but as you can see in pre-1840 maps, since the states are all on the eastern US, the original map authors didn't draw the full territories (they just cut off arbitrarily). I'd like to incorporate these territories at some point, but I would need the full territory paths across the entire US, and not just portions of them, making sure to properly label each territory in the element attribute(s).

If you're interested, the easist way to contribute would be to just complete the maps on Wikipedia for elections prior to 1844. The goal would be something like this.

I could try doing some maps in QGIS but I'm not sure how well I can match the design to what's on wikipedia.
