Good job I made sure that there was a border between them in Risk, then. Wink

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

Except for the last sentence, you're correct.  It was each state's widest vote margin going back as far as 1900.

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

Bush's current approval ratings?

This was the 2004 result of the alphabetically first county in each state.

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.

Some clues for these maps:



It's to do with governors.




To do with one single election of the 20th century.

Answer:  The affiliation of each state's first governor (n.b. not territorial or colonial governor).  I used green for any party that was not the Democratic or Republican party.

dg4ever:  You need to put that line of code in  tags, to stop it stretching out the page.

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

You're half-way there. Smiley

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

No, but you're warmer.  Don't just restrict yourself to 1972, though. Wink

There ya go. Cheesy  I took McGovern's and Goldwater's percentages in each state and expanded them so they were one-on-one.

Incidentally, it's fairly interesting to note that their shares of the vote in Illinois were almost identical.

I've been trying to work it out, but I just can't.  Ok, is it to do with senators, representatives, both, or neither?
