Post random maps here

A non-political map.  Have fun.

Edit: apparently the blue stuff has been done before, and New York could be dark as well as light blue.  Vermont could be pink in a stretch.

Whoa. Long time no see. Welcome back! (Even though you disappeared in the middle of your Senate run )

[Beet]

Whoa. Long time no see.

Considering his last reply prior to September 18 was to "Senator StevenNick", yeah

It's fairly easy, but see if you can figure it out.

Bush's current approval ratings?

Nope, think historical (but not too historical).

the blue states are those that haven't voted Democrat in the Presidential election since 1960.

No, that's not it.  All of those blue states have voted Democratic at least once since then.

largest vote total in an elction since 1960?

Nobody has gotten it yet.  Here's a hint: It's based on a single election.

1992 without Perot?

Nope, but getting closer.  This is based on actual data.

I give up, tell us!!

Yeah, sorry about that.  I spent two weeks without touching a computer because I was too busy, and then I was too ashamed to come back :/

One final hint: It's based on 1996.

Couldn't find anyone who answered this, so I will.  It's the phonetic characteristics of the first consonant sound in the name.  Green is nasal, yellow is fricative, and so on.  Dark means voiced, light means unvoiced.  As a speaker of American English, I demand a separate color for Idaho and Italy, where the first consonant is a flap.

Correct   (and as a speaker of American English, I am ashamed that I did not use a separate color for our beloved flap )

Blue States are those giving Dole >48% of the vote.

[DWPerry]

Here's an odd map to attempt to figure out!


I'll even give a hint; it uses data from elections since 1960.

Umm, that may be true, but it's not what I was going for.  Here's what it is:

Red: Clinton + Perot + Nader
Blue: Dole

Not a problem, I just felt stupid for voting for you anyways.

[MaC]

hint: nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans

I'll take a guess that I know is wrong and say the Blue states have English only as the "Official" Language.
New Mexico uses English & Spanish; Hawai'i uses English & Hawai'in; but Louisiana uses French & English, so either I'm wrong or the map is.

nope

[Robespierre's Jaw]

How would this occur peoples.

[??????????]

The South wins the civil war?

[DWPerry]

The South wins the civil war?

How I wish it were true, but that doesn't explain West Virginia.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

How would this occur peoples.

My possible tickets for my map:
Democratic: George Wallace/Robert Byrd
Republican: John B. Anderson/?

[True Democrat]

How would this occur peoples.

1924 with a swing to Davis and no LaFollette.

Anyone want to put forward a theory about how this could happen in real? lets say in 2000 cuz thats the map ive used.

I'll take a stab and say
Republican's nominate John McCain
Democrats nominate Al Gore
George Bush as an Independent?

[Ban my account ffs!]

John McCain wins the Republican nomination, but George W. runs anyway as an independent.

1% swing to Al Gore?
