Well those are all the states Bush carried in 2004. I guess NM and IA are shaded light blue because he carried them in 2004 but not 2000. That being said, there should be some kind of indicated for NH, which Bush lost in 2004.

Um...Well Nixon carried all the yellow states in 1968, and he carried all of the blue states too (except Connecticut). Humphrey carried all of the red states, while Wallace carried all the green states and the dark red states. Is this it? Wink

Bush carried all the green and blue states in 2000. Charles Evans Hughes carried all the yellow and blue states in 1916. Wilson carried all the green and red states in 1916. Gray states weren't states in 1916.

No, but it does deal with two close elections...

Bump. It shouldn't be too hard.
Does it have to do with the 1976 election? Possibly the map before election day if the race was a toss-up?

No, but it deals with 2 close elections.

Ford carried all of the Green States and the Blue States. Nixon carried all the Blue States and the Red States in 1968. Neither Ford or Nixon carried any of the states in grey.

Well, MS/AL stick out for some reason.

Do MS/AL have something to do with 1968, and NH something to do with 2000?

You're correct with 2000, but not 1968. You're on the right track though.

The red and green ones all went for Gore in 2000 (or were lost by Bush in 2000, depending on how you want to look at it), so that's a starting point.

THat is correct, and indeed, that is the starting point to figuring out what my map means.

The map is a comparrison between the elections of 1960 and 2000.

Green: Nixon/Gore
Red: Kennedy/Gore
Gray: Kennedy/Bush
Blue: Nixon/Bush
Yellow: Unpledged/Bush

My other map is still open for any challenges, but...



This should be easier.

Well, the first part of it is that it's the 2008 map but with different statewide PV percentages. I noticed Utah and Vermont were 30%+, and Utah and Vermont were also 30%+ in 1912, perhaps 1912 has something to do with this map?

And now that I'm looking at it, all 40%+ states (with the exception of IN) were carried by TR in 1912, all 30%+ states were carried by Taft, and all 50%+ states (but including IN) were carried by Wilson.

Random guess on the bottom map, Han...Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Douglas? Or possibly Douglas/Pawlenty? Lame, I know, but meh. Tongue

I find it interesting that Alaska, DC and Hawaii are all in grey. Is it presidential from before they had EVs?

Yes.

Bump. Here's a clue: Fuzzybigfoot was on the right track when he mentioned that 1980 had something to do with the first map.

The second one has to do with 2008.

Yes, that's part of it.
