This should be simple.

Small swing to Dewey in the 1948 election.

Here's my opinion of a Clinton/Richardson vs. McCain/Sanford race:

[True Democrat]

How did I make this map?

1932 switching the parties, I believe.

[True Democrat]

What could cause this in a Presidential election?  Your thoughts?

Bush/Douglas vs. Lieberman/Kennedy in October 2001.  But, in the campaign, Ted Kennedy dies and Patrick Kennedy takes his place. 

[True Democrat]

Hatch/Grassley vs. Biden/Cantwell

[True Democrat]

Are different regions from different years or something?

[True Democrat]

Here's a hint

Map 1: 1980, 2000
Map 2: 1984, 1924
Map 3: 1916, 2004

Identify the relationship.

The average of the two percentages or number of votes?

[True Democrat]

No. What was the most Democratic state in 1984?

I know they switched the most Democratic states, but how do the other states fit?

[True Democrat]

Here's a fun one:

States that have an ocean coastline versus states that don't.

1992 map, w/Perot votes split evenly.

Close.  It has to do with 1992 and Perot though.

I'll give you a hint.  The national popular vote for this scenario is:

Clinton: 53.04%
Bush: 46.18%

I can also give results per state and county.

1992 map, w/Perot votes split evenly.

Close.  It has to do with 1992 and Perot though.

I'll give you a hint.  The national popular vote for this scenario is:

Clinton: 53.04%
Bush: 46.18%

Clinton chooses Perot as his running mate? 

Perot endorses Clinton and drops out for good?

It's a variant of the final result, so it's concrete.

[True Democrat]

Perot drops out and all of his voters stay home?

You basically have it.  It's the results without any of Perot's votes.  It surprised me how close it is with only a few states with over 60%.

I doubt if anyone will get this (many bonus points if you do.  What causes this to happen (and yes this is a statistical trend, not made up):

Ignore Alaska, Hawaii, and DC

1960:



1964:



1968:



1972:



I'll start giving hints for every day that you guys don't get it.

[True Democrat]

Is it continuing the trend started between the 1952 and 1956 elections?

Wow, you get a lot of bonus points in my book.  Yeah, I took the 1956 Republican results in a state, and divided it by the 1952 result.  Then, I took the trend number and multiplied it by the 1956 results to get 1960, then again and again and again for each following year.  I only did this with the Republicans.  I just pretended that Democrats and Republicans were the only candidates, so if the Republicans didn't win it, the Democrats would.  That acoc**nts for the distortion in South Carolina and Mississippi (Republicans percent dropped in 1956 because of unpledged electors).

[True Democrat]

Here's another one using 92 and 96 to make a 2000 map.  Besides North Dakota and Texas, it's not too unrealistic for a landslide election.  Some of actual percentages are out the question though.  (Arizona Gore would have had 59%, 79% in Massachusetts)

[True Democrat]

How each state voted their first time voting?

[True Democrat]

fairly easy...

Your wet dream.

Frequent masturbation prevents such night time messes

the democratic vote in the last election?

Um, close. But the Dems didnt get 80% in Mississippi

The highest % the Democrats have ever gotten in each state?

Wouldn't make sense for a lot of states like Alaska and Oklahoma.

[True Democrat]

American Independence Party fuses with the Democratic to go against Republicans?  I dunno.

Close but not quite.

Is it really that much of a difference?  Democrats fuse with the American Independence Party. Happy?

[True Democrat]

once you get the first one, this one will be easier to get (clue)



I did not know that NY and Delaware were till I did the research for this map. I'm willing to be no one know's that NY was, and you'd think NY should be green, but its not! (another clue!)

note that hawaii could be red depending on your source, and maine red, also depending on your source.

I'm not sure exactly, but all the states in red are named after a person.  Green might be named after another place, and blue is other?  I'm reall not sure though.

New York is named after a person?

Kind of.  The Duke of York.

See if you can figure this one out:

[True Democrat]

Can anyone tell what this one depicts?

Is it something to do with places where Bush and Kerry each did better?

[True Democrat]

The 1896 election with a few new states added?

It's the 1896 election with 2004 percentages.

[True Democrat]

I don't know if anyone will get this one:



I'll start giving hints tomorrow.
