Without looking it up of course. Purely from memory.

I can do every election going back to 1972. If I could get 1968 I'd also be able to get 1964 (easy one), but 1960 isn't as easy. If I got that one though I could go back to 1952. Truman and FDR's later two elections (remembering which states voted against him) are actually fairly tricky.

If I concentrate enough, I think I can go as far as 1920. I might make a mistake on 1916, but it's not guaranteed. 1912 gets trickier, but the real difficulty stats with 1896-1908 elections.

1912 isn't too hard, the two states that voted for Taft are memorable, so all you have to do is know all of TR's six states and you have it.

I'll try... So there's PA, MI, MN, SD, CA, WA... That's six! Got it!

In 1916, I think WV and IN went for Hughes, as well as one of the two Dakotas. Wilson won NH, OH and Orgegon (but lost WA and CA).

I have a dysfunctional memory. I could not "name" them but if you give me a blank map I could probably fill in every election at least as far back as 1860 missing one or two states at the most. Smiley

Kind of morbid, isn't it?

1960, the first election in which I took an active interest.

I'm not going to sit here and do it but my guess would be 1976.

EDIT: meaning, I would screw something up from 1976, and get everything right form 1980 on.

As well as 1964, 1792, 1984 and 1936.
