Guess the Pattern

[minionofmidas]

Guess the pattern on this one.
(Arizona Rep >30%, Arkansas 3rd party >30%, Louisiana 3rd party >40%)

[minionofmidas]

Oh, damn, I just prepared a second one.
I'll hold it off until there's a vacancy (so solve my first fast, Hugh, it's really very easy.)

[minionofmidas]

Since I've tried about a half-dozen approaches on Hugh's hard one, will have to leave in a couple of minutes, and consider my first one really easy anyways, I'll put up my new one and tell you the solution to my first one in this size so you can either read it or ignore it:
Each state's result drawn from last election where it did not vote for the winner

[minionofmidas]

Hint: Might be said to combine approaches previously used by Hugh and me in this thread. SC should actually by D>90%.

Lewis' Second One:

Each Letter is assigned a year.

A = 2004
B = 2000
C = 1996
...
W = 1916

Each state displays its results from the year corresponding to the first letter in its name (e.g. Colorado has the R +40 result from 1996).

Yes, that's right.

It's not about birthplaces silly...official places of residence. Hoover was Californian on that count.

I know there's no room on the table right now, so I'm placing this one right by the doormat.

It's a political map, based on actual Popular Vote.
Also: How the hell could this happen in real life?

Edit: Corrected coding error in Minnesota. Ignore the CD's.

[minionofmidas]

This is an easy one. Political again. Ignore the CD's again.

It’s been long enough that I’m going to go ahead and give the answer.

Red means that the last time the state had a change in EV’s it lost electoral votes.
Blue means that it most recently gained.
Grey means that it never had anything other than 3.

That's a very cool map.

[minionofmidas]

I'll give the answer to my third too.

The third last letter-consonant or vowel.

My last one is really very easy...wanna guess?

[minionofmidas]

Okay, I'll solve my last one.
I though that it was easy, but noone even ventured a guess.
Every state displays the 2004 result of its alphabetically first county.
I'll leave the crazy thing just above unsolved for now.
