Totally unscientific and just for fun.

LaFollette 1924 vs. Wallace 1968. Some nice North-South division until you get to New England, where they both did terribly which gives us some funny results, like RI. And yes, Minnesota may only win "most LaFollette" because Humphrey drained votes from Wallace.





Nixon 1972 vs. Reagan 1984. The two 49 state GOP landslides versus each other. Smiley Not a single >60% state, though D.C. is >60% Nixon because a certain ethnic group wasn't very fond of Ronald Reagan.

Nixon is blue. Reagan is green.





Clinton 1992 vs. Humphrey 1968. Two Democrats who got ~43% against each other. Vermont's rapid trend is showing itself. Otherwise Clintopia would be contiguous!

Clinton is red.





Anderson 1980 vs. Perot 1996. Actually quite interesting.

Anderson is yellow.





Roosevelt 1936 vs. Johnson 1964. Two 61% D landslides.

LBJ is red, FDR is green.

It's amazing how much some of these resemble recent elections. I can't help but wonder if we've already seen the 2016 and 2020 maps somewhere in this thread.
