Good stuff excelsus! I'm enjoying looking at this.

Places that have trending hard towards republicans:


 - Northeastern Mississippi
 - Most of Arkansas
 - Most of Louisiana (especially the southwestern area)
 - Northern Alabama
 - Non-Eastern Tennessee (besides Nashville/Memphis)
 - Non-South Central Kentucky (besides Louisville/Lexington)
 - Most of West Virginia
 - Eastern and North Central Texas
 - Eastern and Southern Oklahoma
 - Non-Southwestern Missouri (Besides St. Louis/Kansas City)
 - Southern Illinois
 - Southern (mostly southwestern) Indiana
 - Southeastern Ohio
 - Southwestern Pennsylvania outside Pittsburgh
 - The Florida Panhandle (specifically the rural areas just outside Tallahassee)
 - Southwestern and Western Virginia
 - Rural Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona

Places that have trended hard towards democrats:

 - Rural New England, specifically Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine
 - Central Upstate New York and NYC suburbs (as well as NYC itself)
 - Northern Virginia, the Richmond area (and suburbs), and Southeastern Virginia
 - The "Research Triangle" in North Carolina, as well as
 - Southern California outside Imperial County (moderately republican turned moderately democrat)
 - Portland and Seattle (and their respective suburbs)
 - Chicago and its Suburbs
 - Philadelphia and its Suburbs
 - New Jersey, mostly Eastern and Northeastern.
 - Delaware
 - "Eye-4-corridor" (or whatever) in Florida, as well as Southeastern Florida.
 - Jackson area in Mississippi
 - Southern and Southwestern Texas (as well as San Antonio and Austin)
 - Central and the bay area in California

Tell me if I missed any, but these seem to be the main ones.

Thanks for the information, Flo. I had know clue what ElectionsGuy meant with "eye-4 corridor".

Sorry about that its just something I hear constantly but never used as a phrase so I didn't know how to say it. Basically Tampa/Pinellas/Orlando/Central Florida

(Sorry for being the one random jerk who points out a mistake)

Maybe I'm going to forgive you one day...

Does anybody see any further mistakes?

Texas. Bush won Travis County in '00 and Obama won Dallas County both times, so they should both be grey.

OMG. Why do I make such silly mistakes? Angry

I should tear the map apart and throw it in the wastebasket.

Don't be mad, we humans have a tendency to rush things and generalize to get things done quicker. It's a great map, I just happened to notice one mistake. I would just look over it one more time with all 6 years of data.

By the way, how did you create this thing?
