Preferably in the style of Tilden76 on Wikipedia (i.e., clear lines on county borders, ability to distinguish whether a county voted GOP or Dem, no blockishness):

Despite this being the Information Age, I have not been able to find one anywhere for either election.

Wikipedia has those tree diagrams that show counties in boxes by size for each state, but. Not on a map. Also, that 1960 map appears to be scaled to today's population, not 1960.

-No, the 1960 map is obviously scaled to 1960's vote. Notice how small Florida, the Atlanta metro area, and Texas are, and notice the size of Wayne, Cook, Allegheny, and Cuyahoga counties. Not sure of what tree diagrams you speak of.

For example, here is the tree map of Texas.

And you are right about the 1960's scaling I just saw the Indy metro area which looks weird on that map, for 1960 (or now for that matter) the suburban counties look too big relative to Marion.

-Indeed, they do. Marion does not look nearly large enough. Same with Manhattan and Staten Island, Nashville and Cheatham county. That cartogram does have problems.

Here is the tree map for Indiana. It shows you how well Trump did in rural areas and also how many of the larger counties in my state are strong GOP. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:United_States_presidential_election_in_Indiana,_2016.svg

Porter and LaPorte counties flipped to Trump, and Lake which has a large minority population stayed in the democrat column. I believe Trump won white voters in all three counties.

Precinct data in 2012 (as well as observations from friends that live there), entailed that there were WWC areas in Lake county, and other counties of such areas were 60-70+% dem, from information from my friend (however reliable this is), in some areas had near zero Romney voters. Do you know what happened precinct wise?
