Very nice maps, thank you!

It is possible to observe that the elections of 1960 and 1976 were not very different, but the election of 1976 was more different of a modern election than the election of 1960 was.


I only make a suggestion: using four different colors makes the maps easier to observe.

Thanks!  Sorry about the colors, but I felt I had to use something else for those uncommitted areas in 1960 and 1964.  Just to be more precise.
