Wikipedia fail.  They've had this map up for over two years.  Anyone else notice the problem?

Arizona should be for Forbes, not New Mexico, plus several of those states didn't hold contests... I've noticed it before, but I don't know if it'll be changed anytime soon. Their 1992 map is also wrong for several states:



There are at least four errors on that map and maybe more depending on which contests you want to count.

I commented on the discussion page for 1992 before, but I believe someone had already done so on the 1996 page.

Yeah, there's a comment on the discussion page for the 1996 primaries that was posted two years ago, that explains the fact that the map is wrong.  But no one's ever done anything about it.

Some election guru will fix this. After all it's Wikipedia.

I would, but I don't care enough to fight with that pixellated of a map.  Is there a nice, clean .png basemap anywhere?
