Combined tenure of the US Senators from the state? (Go Harry Byrd)

Right, what's with the Byrd comment?

West Virginia's 72 year tenure in the Senate is rather impressive.

Though, as usual, I mess up Byrd's first name.

Non-political, Census Bureau collected stats (ie. demographic data), shading is important.

Given NM & CA's shading....something to the effect of % non-hispanic white.

Erc - I'm about to look to see which year your map is.

        Okay, looked. 1896 with a swing of, I don't know 10% to the Republicans?

The map is 1896, but that's not the whole story there...

I want to say "1932 with massive swing to Hoover," but it's not actually right.  Am I on the right track though?

It has to do to 1932 to a large extent, but it's not a pure swing to Hoover...

I'm going to guess the 1992 Presidential Election, without Perot running as an Independent but with half his voters voting for Clinton and Bush?

That'd be my guess, but Arkansas messes that up.

I've done nothing to Perot's votes, they're all still there.

New Mexico and Iowa both went from being Gore states to being Bush states, but solely due to the fact that Bush did better nationally...compared to the national average, they were better for the Democrats than in 2004.  [Gore performed worse than his national average in both states [well, certainly in New Mexico], but Kerry performed better...as Kerry performed worse overall, he still managed to lose both states].

I'm tired of responding to guesses, so...

It's the number of extreme points of the state (out of north, south, east, west) that are lines rather than points, from gray=0 to darkest green=4.  The Oregon-California and Virginia-North Carolina borders are almost straight east-west, but slightly screwy; they ended up counting for Oregon (because of the straighter Nevada bit) and Virginia  (because it is straight in the east, but bends slightly north in the west) but not California or North Carolina.  In the case of Oregon-California, the surveyor was apparently a fairly heavy drinker.

Isn't the Montana-Wyoming border a bit messed up in Yellowstone?  (although, if it's messed up in Montana's favor, that may not make a difference for your purposes).

The colors have nothing to do with parties.
