West Coast Complete

I have been plugging away at more states, but I nearly forgot to post a complete image of the West Coast.

BTW: You can take a peek at West Texas (Green counties in TX go to Wallace in 1968 and Perot in 1992) as well as Oklahoma.

Here they are:

1960:


1964:


1968:


1972:


1976:


1980:


1984:


1988:


1992:


Again, feel free reference the images, but don't forget to throw me some street cred.

Note: Data available via web and the Election Archives of various Secretaries of State.

West Coast & Southwest Completed

More calls and plugging away at my dataset have resulted in the following maps:

Take note that what is now Carson City, NV was Ornsby County also La Paz County, AZ was Yuma. If you don't know who was running for President in these years you should have paid more attention in your American history classes.

1960:


1964:


1968:


1972:


1976:


1980:


1984:


1988:

Stay tuned I will post a complete West Coast image in a few days.

Next up, CO, KS, OK, TX & NM.

Again, feel free reference the images, but don't forget to throw me some street cred.

Pacific Northwest Maps Done

After a few calls and searching on the Internet I have finished the Pacific Northwest maps.

Here is 1964 (Johnson & Goldwater):


1968 (Nixon & Humphrey):

1992 (Bush & Clinton):


I am now off to do the Southwestern half of the country... Up next is sunny California, Nevada and Arizona. I had better take my sunscreen along.

Feel free reference the images, but don't forget to throw me some street cred.

I'm still here, but I have been busy...

If you scroll way down to the bottom of my blog you will find what I have been up to for the last month.

I have decided to create the now famous Red and Blue county maps for the Presidential elections going back to 1960.


Why 1960 you ask? Well that is the first year all 50 states voted for President. The 1992 map was not really what I would have started with, but the data was partially available on the web via the various SoS sites.

So stay tuned I promise to have all of the maps developed by the end of this year.
