Gubernatorial party strength by state since WW2

[Napoleon]

A cool map I made counting terms since 1945 in 4 year blocks by the party winning the term, so deaths and such aren't messing it up. Green is for a tie. Current governors count as a whole term as of their last election. Shades starting at 30% mean the difference in terms each party has won is only one, increasing by increments of one for each tone darker up to 90%, which is a difference of seven or more. I hope this hasn't been done before but the results are pretty interesting. Any thoughts?

Go Washington!

Presidential results aren't even close, obviously, but its fun to compare.

^ Well, Washington is an outlier in both.

and NC, and CO =)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

ah yes, the old alignment.

[Хahar 🤔]

Colorado is surprising.

There's some more evidence that the states parties are lagging behind in the national realignment.  The presidential map just shows Republican dominance (as a whole) in the past half-century.

Colorado is surprising.

Once upon a time though our democrats were mainly moderately conservative

Oregon, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan, Delaware, and Connecticut are the only FF's on these maps.

States where one party has won four straight gubernatorial elections:

New Hampshire has two-year terms
Rhode Island has an Independent Governor, but has 5 straight non-Democratic governor elections
