The Carolinas, Nebraska, Montana and California to be precise. All ofthem states depicted in blue that should be green if you're correct. Hmmm....

And North Dakota, which is odd because South Dakota is green.

It's the state they governored out of...Bob Dole governored out of Illinois (I thought so anyway)

I'm not exactly sure where you're getting that.  Bob Dole was a senator from Kansas from 1969-1996.

Meanwhile, here's a relatively easy puzzle, which I think has been done before:




Any takers?

Judging by the South and South Dakota, I'm going to guess it's some sort of altered 1972 map.

You're half-way there. Smiley

Look at the margin in Mississippi, particularly, if it helps.

Are Missouri and Illinois flipped?  Because if the percentages are backwards, then I'd say it's like an 8% swing to McGovern in 1972 or something like that.

Is it some sort of combination of 1964 and 1972 percentages?  That would explain the Missouri-Illinois disparity and the large percentages in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

This one has probably been done before.. but take a crack at it.



Hint:  Think back as far as 10 presidential elections ago.

# of times in the last 10 elections that each state has voted for each party (e.g., 90% = 9 times)?

Just a wild guess based off of the shade of Indiana, is it the % of the population that is a member of the KKK?

But why would GA be the same shade as NH?

It was a wild guess based on my very limited knowledge of what I was guessing about and is very likely to be wrong. Tongue

If you know what this is a map of, I'm going to be rather suspicious of you...

And yet, here you are posting it, asking people to guess what it is. Tongue

Well, fortunately, I haven't the slightest clue.

Anyone want to give a guess?  It's actually very simple, and does not require you to look up anything at all.

Red=States you decided to color red
Blue=States you decided to color blue

Haha... no, there is a definite rhyme and reason to it.

Hint: you need nothing but the map itself to determine what the colors mean.

blue- states touch an even number of other states
red- states touch an odd number of other states

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Smiley

States on opposite ends of the "four corners" are considered not to be touching.

Man, I'm going to hope you used a different method than counting the number of counties in each state. Tongue

Green States had no change of Senator in 2006, Blue States=Dem pickup, Red States=Republican pickup

Massachusetts currently has a Republican senator?

A map showing the number of motor vehicle deaths per 100.000 inhabitants in each state (2004):

30%-shade -> Rate between 05-10
40%-shade -> Rate between 10-15
50%-shade -> Rate between 15-20
60%-shade -> Rate between 20-25
70%-shade -> Rate between 25-30
80%-shade -> Rate between 30-35



Lowest rate:

MA: 8.1
NY: 8.1

Highest rate:

MS: 31.3

...

It seems Southern drivers are maniacs on the street (I´m actually worrying about Harry) ... Tongue

That's interesting; there seems to be a distinct correlation between voting Republican and dying in a motor vehicle accident. Tongue

Probably because Democratic areas are urban and feature a lot more public transportation and less cars than rural Republican areas.

Oh, I don't know, I myself prefer the "VOTING REPUBLICAN MAKES YOU DIE" theory.

That one just confuses me. I can't imagine any political map that would place Kentucky with NY.

There were these elections that happened in 1992 and 1996, perhaps you've heard of them, they were called the American presidential elections.
