2004 election, only Bush dumps Cheney as his vp and instead chooses Christine Todd Whitman who swings New Jersey to the Republican column, but is unable to create enough Republican votes in the Northeast to hold New Hampshire or gain other states. She campaigns heavily in Hawaii however, and brings it into the Republican column, because she doesn't have the baggage Cheney has.

Linda Lingle as the vice president nominee?
Possibly could attract more moderate support, helping Bush win New Jersey. The campaign just didn't focus as much in New Hampshire, so they lost it.

Both incorrect.

2008 election with the same swing as 2004.

No one guessed this, so: Cities with population 100,000 or greater

The Republicans choose to endorse an independent candidate instead of running their own?

It's the 1992 election with George Bush take off the ticket and Perrot tied with Bill Clinton with the popular vote.

I thought so, especially with how VA, NC and SC stand out.

Hm, something to do with the Senate?

Okay, does it have to do with the Atlasia Presidential election?

Yes...why did it take so long for the forum to figure this out?

Hey, I got it right away! This is just the first time I looked at it.

But it's been there 10 days already.

Yes...I noticed that Massachusetts and Pennsylvania are shaded differently even though they both have 4 syllables. (I pronounce the last three letters of the latter as one syllable.)

Time zones?

Also, how did you get the orange?

0=gray
1=red
2=blue
3=green
4=yellow
5=orange

Something to do with swing/trend in 2008? Because of how CT and VT stand out....

States where all counties voted for Nixon in 1972?

Bingo.

There's one mistake though.

What'd I miss?

South Carolina and Alaska (so yes, two mistakes).

Ah, how could I forget Alaska.

Thanks.

Yes, true.

And you also got South Carolina wrong.

Blank and red states voted for Smith in 1928, that's all I come up with.

That's part of it. There's something else, though.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Green=Voted for Hoover in 1928 and Johnson in 1964
Red=Voted Smith and Johnson
Blue=Voted Hoover and Goldwater
White=Voted Smith and Johnson
Yellow=Didn't vote in 1928

YES! We have a winner!

It should have been obvious by the way, thanks to how the gray states (Deep South) stood out in both elections.

Your prediction for post-election governorships?

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Something to do with 1972 and adjacent presidential elections.

I tried this before, to no avail. So now, here's an all-new attempt (using 2009 data, so there's a hint right there).

Map 1:

Map 2:

Notes:

Both maps are non-political. Also, in both maps, shades are not related to each other (so for example, in map 2, Massachusetts is not a "weaker" Wyoming or anything). Finally, though the maps themselves are related, the shades are not (so Texas in map 2 does not mean the same as Iowa or Louisiana in map 1, even though they are all the same color).
