About

Inspired by this Reddit post.

Wanted to expand on it with the following improvements:

  • including shading for margin of victory (% of winning party - % of next highest party)
  • expanding the dataset to the earliest possible election data
  • breaking down the states into regions, since there are clear election patterns
