Either 1980 or 1984 would be my guess though I’ll go with 1980.


Please don’t peek at the link below.

My first guess was 1980; turns out I was wrong.

Here's one from Atlas.

I forgot this was the presidential board when I posted that. The map is the 1934 gubernatorial race. Let's try an actual presidential map:

1924. Coolidge destroyed Davis in California, where Davis only got 8% of the vote that year in the state. Progressive party's LaFollette did respectably well in the state.

The Democrat is losing suburban Atlanta, while doing pretty well in Southern Georgia. It has to be 1992 or 1996.

Bumping a 2 year thread because I think the concept is interesting and is still fairly relevant.



You can open the image in a new tab when you've guess and the link will contain the answer, but if not, it's here too:

That one county on the west edge of the black belt I think went for Trump, so it has to be either 2008 or 2012.

Menominee doesn't exist so it's obviously a fairly long-ago election. I want to say it's 1952/1956 but I feel like Democrats would have won less counties in those elections. I'm going to say 1948.
