I hope to fill in the greens and blank spots soon:

I know the most populous counties are empty, but it's a pain in the butt getting them to work.  I'll have to contact their auditors.

I thought it's a nice crash course in state politics, even if Nader sent a lot of precincts Republican that reverted in 2004.

The blanks, of course, are missing whole counties, but what's the difference between grey and green?

Green = No data (oftentimes precincts with the same name, which the Federal Elections Project didn't bother to regard individually - annoying)

Grey = No votes cast

Purple = Tie

What's that very dark blue area in northern Whatcom county like?

Dutch Reformist enclave.

The area's centre is Lynden, which is regularly among the most rigidly Republican cities in the state.  I'd argue that it's the most straight-ticket Republican city in the state of notable size.  Even McGavick broke 70% there.

Census projection format, I guess.  To be honest, I know little of projections.  That's how it came and loaded.
