Follow-up question:

Which states entirely consist of counties, all of which didn't change their support for one and the same party the last four times?
(Bizarrely, I didn't recognize it while making those maps.)

Massachusetts and Rhode Island Tongue

There are even more states that fulfill the condition. Tongue Tongue Tongue

Hawaii! Cheesy


But I can't see anymore after that

Hawaii, Rhode Island and Massachusetts are the trivial answers.
However, there's a fourth state that doesn't stare in one's face at once...

Arizona

Exactly. Arizona is even more of an interesting state regarding its county maps, as it is - well - actually very boring.

The presidential election results of what year does the following map display?

Oh, it's just one year... Maybe 2008?

The thing about Arizona is that its county maps are useless as the majority of the state population lives in Maricopa County and the rest of the state is sufficiently polarized that there isn't any kind of anti-Phoenix vote.

Great job!  What's interesting about these maps is that they actually make 2000 look like the realignment year.

The interestingly boring feature of Arizona is the fact that its county maps of presidential results didn't change at all from 2008 to 2012. (Hawaii and Delaware display this oddity, too, but neither of them consists of as many counties as Arizona.)
