2004-2016: Number/Percentage of statewide races won by each party in each state

[MT Treasurer]

This took me longer than I had thought... So here it is. Keep in mind that this includes every statewide race (Governor/LT Governor/Auditor/Treasurer/...) AND Senate race (yeah, I know they're federal races, but still...). I will post the map that doesn't include the Senate races soon...

What surprised me the most:
- I knew that the Oregon GOP was dead, but it's shocking how extinct they are at the statewide level. Just compare OR with WA and you'll know what I mean.
- Muh Tossup elastic NH lol. Seriously, comparing New Hampshire to Vermont and Maine is hilarious.
- Florida more Republican than Oklahoma
- Michigan and to a lesser extent Wisconsin and Colorado

ROFL at AR.

[Kingpoleon]

ROFL at AR.

Yeah, but still nothing compared to WV and MT.

WV and MT have a Democratic Senator and Governor. We don't even have a Democratic Representative.

[ElectionsGuy]

Texas had 68 elections for offices in 10 years?

ROFL at AR.

The amazing thing about Arkansas is it took just two statewide cycles for it to go from completely Democratic (2006 and before) to completely Republican (2014 and on).

- Muh Tossup elastic NH lol. Seriously, comparing New Hampshire to Vermont and Maine is hilarious.

New Hampshire had two very popular Democratic governors (Lynch and Hassan) that took up 6 of the 10 elections that its had. Quite a misleading statement.

Yeah, but the fact that Shaheen and Hassan are so popular speaks for itself. If NH truly was an Independent swing state, both would have lost reelection in 2014.

Texas had 68 elections for offices in 10 years?

I've included the Court Races, too. Well, and Texas does have countless statewide offices (Railroad Commissioner, Agriculture Commissioner, Land Commissioner, Comptroller, ...)

yea far left liberal sketchy bitches.

That's great, thank you

"50/50 state" (1 --> 1) (-KY, +AR)

Arkansas 13/26 TIE  50% R/50% D

[MT Treasurer]

Obviously, Arkansas will flip next year. Montana is becoming more competitive at the statewide level, which is nice.

PA is actually "more Democratic" now than it was in 2015 because the GOP lost all the statewide races (except Toomey's seat, but even he underperformed) on the ballot in 2016. So while PA is a fairly competitive state at the presidential level, the PA GOP really can't get it done in statewide races. They're also doing extremely poorly in the State Supreme Court races. Sad.

Nevada and maybe Colorado should flip next year as well.
