Same Since 2000 Electoral Map

This isn't a popularity contest™

The 2016 presidential election shook up the electoral map, breaking down some of the 'blue wall' of 242 electoral votes that had voted Democratic in each presidential election since at least 1992. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and one district in Maine voted Republican in 2016.

This map looks at the states that have voted the same party since 2000 - the last five presidential elections. With the above-referenced shifts, the 'blue wall' and the 'red wall' are now of roughly equivalent size.

About this Site
270towin.com is an interactive Electoral College map for 2020 and a history of Presidential elections in the United States. Since electoral votes are generally allocated on an "all or none" basis by state, the election of a U.S President is about winning the popular vote in enough states to achieve 270 electoral votes, a majority of the 538 that are available. Receiving the most votes nationwide is irrelevant, as we have seen in two of the most recent five presidential elections where the electoral vote winner and the popular vote winner were different.
