Title: Somewhat Odd Map Post by: Mehmentum on November 22, 2012, 03:37:48 PM Using the results of the last 4 presidential elections, last 4 Senatorial elections, and last 4 Gubernatorial elections in each state. Color shading is based off of % of elections won.
() Democrats won every statewide elections in Washington, Delaware, and (of course) D.C. Republicans did this in Utah, Idaho, and Texas. Funny how we Democrats talk a lot about Texas, but have had literally zero sucess there in the past decade. Its also interesting to see a lot of states we think of as solidly blue/red, not being that way if we include Senate and Governor elections.

WV and Montana being the chief exceptions.

That's why I wouldn't advise including just races to measure a state's partisanship, fwiw.

That may change a little over the next 4 years though!
