Question

Look at these maps from the 2008 C and 2012 presidential elections. In the space provided, note the differences and similarities between

the two maps. Are certain regions more Democratic and some more Republican? What other interesting points do you recognize about the maps?

Answer 1

There are very few differences between the two maps. Both show that the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast are blue, which means these states voted for Barack Obama in both elections. The South, the Great Plains, and the Rocky Mountain regions, however, are red in both elections, meaning these states were won by the Republican candidate. In the 2012 map, Barack Obama won almost the exact same states as in the 2008 election. The only states that voted differently are Indiana and North Carolina.

Answer 2

The west coast always seems to be democratic, a good portion of upper east coast seemed to stay democratic, the majority of the southern states are republican, a lot of the mountain region states tend to be republican, a good portion of the Midwest is democratic, and I noticed that the number of electoral votes per state changed (some got more and some lost votes)
