One last bump, if anyone wants to take a guess.

They all went for Bush in 2004, so I guess something to do with that. Iowa and New Mexico didn't go for Bush in 2000, and they're shaded a lighter colour...
West Virginia...?

You're on the right track. Smiley

I'd been going to suggest that it was sort of the Republican "winning streak" - how many elections in a row it had been won by the Republican candidate - ie. in 2004 IA and NM were just once, WV was twice... except it can't be that because there were other states that should have been just twice, and others that should have been shaded darker.
Basically... no Republican since 04 has won the general without Iowa/New Mexico.

No Republican since 2000 has won the general without WV.

etc.

As for the darkest states, no Republican since 1952 (and beyond in some cases) has won without them.

Ford carried all of the Green States and the Blue States. Nixon carried all the Blue States and the Red States in 1968. Neither Ford or Nixon carried any of the states in grey.
Damn, you're good. Tongue

Does this have to do with Republican candidates?

Well, MS/AL stick out for some reason.

Do MS/AL have something to do with 1968, and NH something to do with 2000?

Well, the first part of it is that it's the 2008 map but with different statewide PV percentages. I noticed Utah and Vermont were 30%+, and Utah and Vermont were also 30%+ in 1912, perhaps 1912 has something to do with this map?

And now that I'm looking at it, all 40%+ states (with the exception of IN) were carried by TR in 1912, all 30%+ states were carried by Taft, and all 50%+ states (but including IN) were carried by Wilson.

Yes. (I edited Indiana to reflect the rest of the map, a minor oversight on my part.)

White : States Nixon never carried
Green : States he carried in 1972 only
Red : States he carried in 1968 and 1972
Yellow : States he carried in 1960 and 1972
Blue : States he carried each time


What about mine ?

Correct, but, I haven't the faintest clue what yours is.

A map similar to my previous ones. It should be very easy :



Independent : 30.8%, 180 EVs
Democratic : 30.8%, 176 EVs
Republican : 30.8%, 175 EVs

1912?

Hillary Clinton vs. Sarah Palin in 2012 in a Hillary wins in 2008 universe?

Pretty much.

Winning NE-03???

You do realize that's arguably the most Republican district in the nation, right?
