[True Democrat]

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



I'll start giving hints tomorrow.

First hint: It is based on 1912, and represents a really odd voting pattern.  I would look at South Dakota and Oklahoma for good results (big hint there)

This gets the states rights, but the percentages wrong (in certain states).

Blue has Roosevelt, All the Minor Parties, and 3/8 of Wilson's vote.

Red has Taft and 5/8 of Wilson's vote.

Close enough.

Taft (Red) = Taft + 60% Wilson + Prohibition
Roosevelt (Blue) = Roosevelt + 40% Wilson + Socialist

Is that like the smallest county or something?

[True Democrat]

Ha good luck
hint:Nothing to do with politics-unless there's some really really wierd politics.

Hard Rock Cafe or something?

It has to do with a restaurant...

Not hardrock cafe.  Hmm, BRTD might know this (or have an idea)

Hooter's or something?  Though it's hard to believe that Washington doesn't have a Hooters.

Political, but red and blue don't mean Republican or Democrat.

Red states: Turnout over 60% in Election 2004
Blue States: Turnout between 50 and 60% in Election 2004
Grey States: Turnout less than 50% in Election 2004

That can't be it, since turnout was over 60% for the whole nation.

How do you go back to 1824?

If you type the year number into the URL address, it takes you to a calculator for that year, but it's really messed up.

Not working for me

Try switching the years in the IMG code. That worked for me.

What's the IMG code?

These are in order:

Do people want hints on mine?

[True Democrat]

Here's one, if you can guess why it's that way.  Guessing it isn't exactly brilliant.

Red -> States with 10 or less EVs
Blue-> States with 11 or more EVs

You mean the other way around.

Something to do with FDR in 1936?

[True Democrat]

Go!

Well, it is obviously 2000-related.

No, it must be 1984 related.  Look at Tennessee, Maine, New Hampshire, and New Jersey.

[True Democrat]

Hints: Nothing to do with color shade,election related.

The red states are the last 6 home states of losing Democratic Presidential candidates.
Still working on the others.

You got it...the blue ones are Republican losers.

What about Kansas?

[True Democrat]

Probably not hard..

Some sort of swing away from Carter?

not exactly.

Giving Anderson's vote to Reagan, perhaps?

yup

Actually this would be giving Anderson's vote to Reagan:

[True Democrat]

Hints: Has to do with the 1992 election. Green indicates a tie.

I think you have Vermont wrong, but is it Perot % + Losing candidates %, or something like that.  That explains the tie in Maryland.  California would be wrong too then, hmm, maybe that's not right actually.

[True Democrat]

The only hint I'm giving is that they're fairly unrelated. The first 3 are hard, the last one is easy.

The third one is 1916 with the parties reversed and a slight swing to the Republican.  The fourth one is obviously the 2004 election, but where are Alaska and Hawaii?

[True Democrat]

What would make this happen?

5 point swing to Carter in 1976.

[True Democrat]

State's most lopsided result since some date or other. Noone has cracked 60% in Ohio for several thousand millennia IIRC.

Umm, Johnson got 63% in 1964.

It's fairly easy, but see if you can figure it out.

Bush's current approval ratings?

Nope, think historical (but not too historical).

the blue states are those that haven't voted Democrat in the Presidential election since 1960.

No, that's not it.  All of those blue states have voted Democratic at least once since then.

largest vote total in an elction since 1960?

Nobody has gotten it yet.  Here's a hint: It's based on a single election.

I give up, tell us!!

One final hint: It's based on 1996.

Blue States are those giving Dole >48% of the vote.

Umm, that may be true, but it's not what I was going for.  Here's what it is:

Red: Clinton + Perot + Nader
Blue: Dole
