These are great! Good to see the correct color scheme in use by the media back then. Though why did CBS color all states for the Democrats at the beginning, and switch them to GOP one by one?
It was also pretty funny to see the live feed to the GOP headquarters interrupted by a loud cheer from the crowd in the background; with the explanation that CBS had just called New York for Nixon, only to have Walter Cronkite back in the CBS studio say, "What? No we haven't."
