Infographic: 100 Years of Swing State Voting

in Infographic

On the EagerEyes Blog, Robert Kosara presents 100 years of voting data on swing states and their voting tendencies.

I always wondered how much those swing states actually swing. So I looked at the results of presidential elections over the last 100 years, and it’s not easy to determine which states actually are swing states from just looking at their history. Rather, there seems to be a pattern of relative stability for a few election cycles, and then big, sweeping wins for one side.

In What Type of Choices Are Made in Each State?, Pedro Martinez uses the same data, altering the look and feel to present the same information with a more appealing design.

Hi Nathan,

I’ve just read your post on ‘100 Years of Swing State Voting’ and I really appreciate your kind words and that you’ve chosen my version of this subject to display on you website.

I just wanted to ask you something, you’ve written my name as Pedro Martinez and it is Pedro Monteiro. Could you be so kind as to change it on your post?

Thank you so much in advance
All the best

Pedro Monteiro
