Senate vote on bailout:


It would seem that there are only 5 good states left of America.

These ones should also be easy. As with the previous map, these will also change soon.

First map=Senate
Second map=House

1864: The Civil War is dragging on. The Mid-West is ripe with Copperheads (California turns as well) and results in a closer election for Lincoln.

Lincoln - 119
McClellan - 114

This one may have been done already, but here it goes:

[bhouston79]

D: 294, R: 244

The ideal Democratic "Whistling Past Dixie" map - a slight message-tweak to give the Democrats a libertarian bent and dropping asinine issues like 'gun control' would be enough to give us this, or something very similar, in a close election. 

The book you cite looks like an interesting read, but with all due respect to the author, I'm not so sure that I would consider Virginia a "Southern" state any more.  Yes they were certainly part of the confederacy, but in terms of national politics, Virginia is beginning to look more and more like a mid-Atlantic state.

1992 map...No Perot

Clinton-273
Bush-265

This one may have been done already, but here it goes:

I would have guessed 1988 with a 2% swing to Dukakis, but that would also flip Connecticut...

Actually it's a 2.5% swing to Dukakis, and no that wouldn't have flipped Connecticut, although it would have come very close.  Go back and check the 1988 results, and you'll see what I mean.

How about this one....

[Joe Republic]

Gubernatorial elections

Blue: Elections are aligned with presidential election
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

Map of a Senate vote in 2005.

[Joe Republic]

The vote to implement CAFTA.

Totally random. Some election causes many states to take a turn. Democrats support tax cuts, and want to throw away the welfare system, but are socially liberal. Republicans are socially conservative, and have a liberal mind in economics...

So basically a libertarian Democratic Party and a populist Republican Party?

The year is 2008:

[RIP Robert H Bork]

How about:

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Between 1968 and 2004 (no, nothing about independents):

Between 1968 and 2004 (no, nothing about independents):

Frequency of changing sides from one election to the next, hence Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Nevada have flipped a number of times, whereas Minnesota and DC have consistantly voted for the one party?

Oh no no, not even close. The map shows how often each state voted for the winning candidate.

Ohio and Missouri (among the darkest states) voted for the winning candidate every time. The lightest "state", DC (which is, of course, not even a state) voted for the winner only thrice (1976, 1992 and 1996).

HAH! No one knows. The year is 1920, by the way. It is tough, but It shall become obvious after you look at 1916.

[Dodger Blue]

Hughes running for re-election in 1920.
