Shouldn't WV be under 2012 for the Democrats?

Very nice thing you got here.

Nice work, it's very interesting.

I'm kind of surprised Texas has the longest streak. Don't get me wrong, 19 years (1994-2013) is a long time but I would have guessed some states had multi-decade streaks.

SD is listed twice in the Democrats' section.

SD is listed twice in the Democrats' section. 

Speaking of South Dakota...

It's also the state that's gone the longest without electing a democrat Governor. Even longer than Utah.

The state last elected a democratic governor in 1974.

This was a very lenient criteria. If you were to limit it to the "main" statewide offices (governor and US Senator), I think you'd have some slightly longer streaks but not by much. (Ex. The Democrats' losing streak for Texas would be 1990 rather than 1994).
