1932 election, with the stock market crash occuring starting that Monday.

No, but you're in the right era.

Governor approval ratings?

Yep.

Based on the 2004 presidential election:

New map:



>40% = ?
>60% = ?


Also, this map of mine is still open:

Is it something to do with how long a state has had Senators from a certain party?

No, but you're two-thirds on the right track for talking about senators.

Senators and governor [60%+ all in same party, 40%+ just 2/3]? I don't know if this works, and I don't feel like checking it.

Got it.

Based on the 2004 presidential election:

Nobody got this one.  It was the election result in each state's county that had the highest number of total votes.

Hardly a surprising map, thanks to the urban/Democratic connection.

[Joe Republic]

Red states have lost EVs over time, and blue states have gained them.  Gray states have stayed the same since statehood.

I have to admit that the only reason I got this one is 'cause somebody else did it before.

[Joe Republic]

Yeah,  I'd guess its the collective ratings for both of each states' senators (from the last Senate) from the ACU or somesuch.

For this map, gray does not denote a tie.

For this map, gray does not denote a tie.

I would say states where candidates over performed in the 1912 election, including Debs.

You're on the right track, but I wouldn't say 'over-performed'.

Well, it can't be underperformed because Debs did exceptionally well in all the grey states. But the arangement of the Blue state in the south mean that....

Ohhhh... Taft is grey.

TR is Blue

Wilson is red and Debs is Green. The map denotes where each finished dead last.

Well you're close enough. 

The map shows who came third in each state.  The color arrangement is still the same, but gray is for Debs.

Note that Taft was bumped down to fourth in a few states, and wasn't even on the ballot in OK and SD.

[Joe Republic]

Now with EVs added.  Should make it a lot easier.

[Joe Republic]

How each state voted their first time voting?

Correct.  I messed up Washington in this version, because it voted Republican in 1892.

something to do with state names, I posted one a page or two ago. dark red = spanish, green = french, blue = british, something like that.

You're on the right lines.  Think about what the different colors have in common:

Dark red =
Bright red =
Light blue =
Dark blue =
Green =
Pink =
Gray =

[Joe Republic]

You're all close enough.  Dark red is for Hispanic names; bright red is for names taken from the native dialect (this is why Hawaii and Alaska are in the same category as other Native American states); light blue states are named for people; dark blue states are named for already existing places; green states are those that have French origin; gray states are those that have names of uncertain origin; and pink states are named after made-up words.

I realize there is some overlapping, so I had to just decide arbitrarily.  DC was named for the Province of Columbia, which was one of America's early alternative names.  I skipped the fact that Columbia in turn was named for Columbus.

Louisiana probably should have been made light blue, so I guess I messed that one up.  However, the French link seemed too great to ignore.  Preston is also correct about Arkansas; but once again the French connection seemed relevant.

As for New York, that was a mistake.  I always thought it was named for York, England, but it turns out I was wrong.

[Joe Republic]

[Joe Republic]

The more red, the longer the state's name and vice versa.

Yep, thought it wouldn't be too taxing...

[Joe Republic]

Probably a few mistakes with this one.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NUMBER IN MAINE SHOULD BE 2, AND NEBRASKA SHOULD BE 0.

The number of female representatives and senators in each state

Correct.

I was surprised that such a large portion of California's entire congressional delegation are women, and New Jersey has none at all.

[Joe Republic]

These maps are related.  Should be fairly easy.
