Post random maps here

[Boris]

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

Bush's current approval ratings?

Nope, think historical (but not too historical).

1992? Adding Clinton and Perot's vote?

[Josh/Devilman88]

Has to do with 1992 *Hint* Counties.

[DWPerry]

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

hint: nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans

I'll take a guess that I know is wrong and say the Blue states have English only as the "Official" Language.
New Mexico uses English & Spanish; Hawai'i uses English & Hawai'in; but Louisiana uses French & English, so either I'm wrong or the map is.

[DWPerry]

A very select group of people voting in this one, who are they?

[nclib]

Senators? (though I don't understand the shadings)

[DWPerry]

Senators? (though I don't understand the shadings)

Close. The shadings are important.

That is exactly right! Although Maine & Minnesota were tied and the Governor broke the tie, the two "Independet's" in Vermont caucus with the Dem, so voted that way. And, of course, no vote for DC

Actually, shouldn't Michigan be blue (House: 6D, 9R; Senate: 2D, 0R)

You are correct, somehow I got that backwards, thanks!

Guess this map:



Note: It has nothing to do with Democrats and Republicans.

[Boris]

HINT: The only other nation in the world that this map could extend to is Canada, and in that case, British Columbia, Quebec, Alberta would be pink, while Ontario would be D>70. The rest would all be R>50.

I even alphabetized it

Couldn't find anyone who answered this, so I will.  It's the phonetic characteristics of the first consonant sound in the name.  Green is nasal, yellow is fricative, and so on.  Dark means voiced, light means unvoiced.  As a speaker of American English, I demand a separate color for Idaho and Italy, where the first consonant is a flap.
