Here's an easy very easy one :

Democrat : 33.12%, 202 EVs
Republican : 33.12%, 195 EVs
Independent : 33.12%, 141 EVs

1992 election if the three top candidates received an equal number of popular votes?

On the same subject :

Independent : 37.41%, 320 EVs
Democrat : 35.51%, 181 EVs
Republican : 26.45%, 37 EVs

What it would have taken for Perot to win outright in 1992?

Don't forget mine.

Can you figure this one ?

That's 2004.  Is it something to do with PVI?

No. That's 2004 indeed, with red representing a certain percentage for democrats and blue a certain percentage for republicans. The shades have the same meaning they have on the Atlas.

Hmmm...Is it the percent that each candidate won the sate by? So if Kerry got 40% of the vote & bush got 50% of the vote it would be Blue >10%?

No way, look at NY and Wisconsin.

Try to look at which States have the 20% shades and which have the 40%. What distinguishes them ?

They all have large hispanic minority populations, right?

Oh yeah, it's true. I didn't notice it...

Actually, this is not directly related with my map, but I think this may help you to find what it represents. What's one of the main characteristics of hispanics and other minorities in the way they vote ?

Does it have to do with voter turnout?

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

Well, I'm not sure what it shows exactly...

Does it have to do with turnout among registered Republicans/Democrats in each state?

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

I'm guessing this is how Americans see European countries.

Obviously. "Thanksgiving meal" pretty much gave it away.

I'm not so sure I agree with "Mummy." That's Egypt. And everybody knows that there's no such place as Luxembourg, so why is it colored in a different shade than Belgium?

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

That's indeed quite funny.
All those Isabellas... And where the hell does "Ava" come from ?
For boys, Aiden ? Noah ? Jayden ? . Ad so much Jacobs and Ethans ? Also, Texas is quite... interesting.

I know, I felt there were many silly names too.

I rather suspect that this is a case of everybody wanting to be different, so they come up with a name that they think is original and cool, but it's really not. My cousin's name is Brianna, and my aunt is always surprised at how many other Briannas there are in her age group, but it was the 17th most popular name in 2002 (the year of her birth).
