So FYI Antonio has convinced me that AAD is nothing but complete garbage and Old Atlas is where it's at. So I'm going to use this to highlight the type of contributions that stand out on Old Atlas and that we don't have anything of the like on AAD.
Let's start with this wonderful bit: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=216663.0
That alone completely puts every post on AAD to shame. Wonderful!
OK, I admit it. I reported that thread, suggesting that consideration be given to deleting it. No action yet by the FC Mods. I guess they're busy. Pity, since if removed, that would have, well, interfered with the genesis of this little thread.
Oh, regarding the 2016 Presidential election board, I think it is much improved myself, and/or got an unfair rap before (I really didn't participate on it much until fairly recently). You should check it out BRTD. You need to keep up.
