I've been determined to post this one for three days, only to be beaten to it by Ben by about forty seconds.  Well here it goes anyway:

From Oklahoma's lack of coloring...throw out all votes for Kerry and Bush and this is what you get?  (Nader in Green, Badnarik in Yellow)

Correct!  Cobb is orange, btw.

Clue: Has to do with Governors. That's the only clue I will give you now.

Are the colors political?

I don't get it- Badnarik got 0.4% in OR, and Cobb got 0.29%- why is it coloured orange then?

Oh I forgot - orange isn't just Cobb, it was for write-ins too.

Interesting map, Joe. Any hints? It looks like one of those photos from space of the sunrise or something.

It's to do with geography.

Percentage of land owned by the national park service, or number of national parks, or something of the sort?

Edit: on second glance, that doesn't explain New York.  Percentage of protected land?

No, sorry, but good try.

Think more about the geographical landscape itself.

Wow, exactly right!  Cheesy

I was very surprised to see that Kansas and Nebraska were not only not the flattest states, but weren't even in the same bracket as the several states that actually were flatter.

Gray is the first 15 states.  Yellow is all the rest admitted until 1820.  So I guess this is the time that each state did something which is not being admitted to the union, but somehow coincided with that for the first few states?

You're on the right lines.  It is politically-oriented, however.

Gray = the state has roughly the average number of counties
Green = more than the average
Red = less than the average

The darker the shade, the further away from the average it is.

Here's an interesting one.

The Carolinas should be ties.

1992:  the proportion of counties won by either Clinton or Bush.

Red: Aligned with congressional mid-terms
Green: Held in year before presidential election
Yellow: Held in year after presidential election
Gray: Aligned with presidential election and congressional mid-terms

The number of presidential candidates to claim residence in each state.  Gray = none; lightest shade = 1; second lightest = 2; etc.  I would assume that individual candidates who ran more than once (e.g. Reagan) are counted as such.
