This is the map of 2008
Thanks, Windflier
And my comments from a previous post comparing the two electoriates:
“You can see how CA has become more red inland and towards the coasts. This is encouraging for those Freepers who worry their votes are for naught. The tide is in your favor for 2016.
The upper midwest is filling out red too, except for MN and parts of Iowa and IL, but both have repub governors now, according to Iowa’s map, only one district remained blue and and according to AP’s map, Rauner won all districts. Check out how MI and Wi are turning a lovely shade of red.
New Mexico is voting less Dem and Nevada seems to be a Republican stronghold now. Colorado seems to have their liberals under control in Denver, and although NC seems to have contained their liberal carpetbaggers to their industrial triangle, SC still has lefty sprawl.
Congrats to Perdue who won big in GA, but the dems look to be on the move in his state.
West Texas is turning solidly deep red and the norther Western states are turning completely to the right.
However, my home state is faltering, especially in the southern parts that are staying stubbornly blue or trending away from the right, which infuriates me because we do have a lot of conservatives, but we also have problems with the border, lame candidates, and really ridiculous gerrymandering concocted with out side of the legislature that though they dominated, wanted to be “fair.”
The map of California is misleading. Those huge red areas you see are mostly empty space, devoid of humans, while the slim blue line along the coast is packed with people from wall to wall.
Conservatives and Republicans are making some gains in California (two state assembly seats were won by Rs yesterday), but it's going to be a long uphill battle to take that place back.
