Why is it so hard to find election data for Alaska?

Here's the Presidential swing map by Borough/Census Area from 2008 to 2012.  I used Lewis' borough vote numbers in the 2008 and 2012 threads, separating Wrangell and Petersburg in 2008 to match the 2012 map.  I measured swing by change in margin from 2008 to 2012.  

Every subdivision swung toward Obama, none as strongly as rural Alaska off the railbelt.  As Lewis said, the Alaska Natives swung most heavily toward Obama in 2012.

Here's the final results of the 2010 Alaska Senate general election.  I don't think any district flipped from the preliminary results (HD 23 in downtown Anchorage was close.  Write-in beat McAdams but McAdams beat the Murkowski write-ins), but the color gradation may have changed in some districts.  I changed Murkowski's (Write-in R) color from green to yellow since light blue and light green look alike.  Miller (R) is in blue.  McAdams (D) is in red.  In the Anchorage and Fairbanks inset, municipal lines are green.

The bush Alaska HDs gave Murkowski her greatest margin of victory.

This is Fuzzybigfoot's map of Presidential Elections in Alaska, 1960-2012.  It looks like it is in part by Alaska House District, at least in rural areas for recent years.
