CO-4:



Musgrave ran comically behind McCain in places. Doesn't always show up much as she still won some such places by miles.

VA-5:



The split between the north and west of the district is even sharper than in the Presidential election. Is Perriello from the north of the district [qm]. Would be a very Southern outcome if that's the case...

Overlay the county map and the congressional district map, trim as necessary, find the congressional results by county, and shade the map.

The key was for margin not vote share; maybe that'd make a more interesting pattern. Though maybe not if all were over 60%.

I seem to remember you posting a few maps using something like that, or maybe that was just Lackawanna.

This is tedious. Florida puts up the vote totals per county but with no %'s. What's the best way to quickly tabulate %'s? I'm pretty new to this map making game.

(Dem vote - Rep vote) / (total vote) gives you the margin.
Obviously if total vote's not given in the table (sometimes it isn't) you'll have to sum all candidates' votes first.

Yeah, I gotta add the two, then save the total then go back and I take the winners vote and divide it by the total. Very time consuming for large districts.

Amazingly it's true according to Monroe county.

Only one precinct in Monroe for FL25.
