Miles, have you posted the gay marriage map for district 1? I looked through the thread and I couldn't find it.  

I actually did CD1 within a few weeks after the election, before I made this thread, so I guess I never got around to posting it.

Despite being heavily Democratic, it voted almost exactly the same as the state as a whole. In fact, outside of Durham, it passed with 67%.



I always thought this district looks like a jellyfish lol

It does look like a jellyfish. I wonder how the vote in this district would have changed if it took place after Obama came out in favor of Gay Marriage?

Great West Virginia map series! It will  be crazy in 2020 when they in all likelihood slide down to two seats.

I would be interested to see what Mecklenburg County would have looked like on Amendment 1 if Obama had came out in favor of gay marriage before the vote.

Buchanan County, VA 2000-2012:

Very cool! I'd love to see a similar map for the NoVa area!

This is NC in normal colors:



I like the Atlas colors better.

Blasphemy!

I used that map for a Wikipedia entry, as most everyone else recognizes the normal colors.

I had a professor last semester that went off for like 5 minutes on how the networks were so stupid to reverse the colors from the world standard. Too bad it will never change back to the way it should.

Obama/Hillary

^ And he did that with Clinton carrying the district by 9 points. It's pretty clear that he would have defeated Bennet had he been persuaded to run for Senate.

Dynamics change when you go statewide, can't always extrapolate from the district level.
