Interesting. With the exceptions of WV which already had theirs broken in 2016, I don't think we'll see any new records shattered in the near future with the exceptions of DC+Wyoming and possibly California/Hawaii if it's a strong Dem wave.

Somehow that map reminds me of my McAdoo/Hyaln timeline

Still amazing to think that not even Reagan or Nixon could topple Bryan's winning percentage in Idaho, Montana, or Utah. The silverite block vote was very impressive out west in 1896.

I think the percentage might be off in Hawai'i, though; Wikipedia and here both have LBJ winning 78.7% of the vote instead of 71.9%.

Very interesting, wish we had options for both parties seperately. I'm guessing LBJ or FDR would dominate for Dems, while Nixon and Harding would dominate for Reps!

Interesting. Looks like the 5 Bryan Western states, KY and MD for Seymour, and WV for Trump in 2020 were the losers.

MD could definitely be broken in the next Democratic victory...the current record is just 67.2%; Biden won 65.4% in 2020.
