Not really a puzzle map, but just wanted to post it.

10 pt. swing to Bush in 2000?

[nini2287]

Bump to get to the next page

[nini2287]

OK the answer to the other one

Blue - one of the state's two senators has run for President in the past
Red - both of the state's senators have run for President

New Map, apolitical:

Do people want hints on mine?

The last one looks like the 1992 or 1996 map with even division of votes between Clinton and Bush/Dole.

How many elections they had voted for whoever they voted for in 2004?

Correct, it's a shame the colors aren't a bit more widespread because I would have liked to encorporate 1976 in there as well, but that's the way it goes.

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.

Haha, yeah.

Red-a team in the state has won a Super Bowl and the shade how many times?

[nini2287]

Hint:  The cutoff is 5000.

That's true,  DE and NJ share a border at Wilmington, even if it does straddle the Delaware River.  But then does the border between NJ and PA...

It is possible to drive straight from NJ to DE so they do share a border.

Atlas forum membership in each state...with whoever gets a plurality in each state winning?

Probably over a certain amount of posts.

Who's the third Idahoan?

kljackson

But then again, in that case Idaho would be blue :S

Correct, although I think somebody else had an Idaho avatar, I dont think kljackson did.  BTW, it's anyone over 100 posts.

[nini2287]

Jeez, how long did that take you?

W00t, I have the highest post count of all Ohians!

Around an hour or so, I wasted more time doing that than I should have.

BTW, in the event of ties, I went to the person with the most votes.

And I think I'm 8th or so among Pennsylvanians...

[nini2287]

Hint: It has to do with the Senate.

Do red and blue correspond to Democrats and Republicans?

what MS R's outdo me?

angus (although I guess he's Independent now) and I think there was an Independent and a Republican who barely made the 100-post barrier.

[nini2287]

A 5% swing to Goldwater?

[nini2287]

what could cause this in 2008?

Evan Bayh/John Lynch
Orrin Hatch/Kit Bond
Roy Moore/Jeb Bush

[nini2287]

Grey= Independent.

I don't know what the match up should be? Any ideas?

Dem-Tom Vilsack/Joe Biden
Rep-John Engler/Lamar Alexander
Ind-Joe Manchin/Bill Richardson

[nini2287]

Don't think about it too hard.

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

Come on, people, it's staring right at you.

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