I remember seeing an interactive map which displayed the electoral college for every election into the 2030s, with sliders allowing you to adjust the percentage of minority votes each party got. The point of the feature was to demonstrate that Romney's "coalition" would always be a losing one for the Republican party. I'm having trouble finding this; I seem to remember it being on the New York Times.

Does anyone have a link to this map?

What you say about the Romney coalition is true, but it equally gets very ugly for Democrats with <35% of white voters.  The electoral college would become untenable until they can flip AZ and TX.

That was back when Nate Silver was still on NYT. Those were the days...

I don't think the map takes into account future census-based congressional allocations.
