[edit] Roosevelt vs. Reagan electoral vote tallies
When comparing Roosevelt and Reagan in electoral vote tallies (523 to 525, respectively) it should be noted that Alaska and Hawaii were not yet states so the total electoral votes available to Roosevelt and Reagan are different (531 to 538, respectively). Placing things on an even playing field, so to speak, and looking at the percentages of the total number of electoral votes won by Roosevelt and Reagan (98.5% to 97.6%, repectively) we note that Roosevelt does come out on top of Reagan.
[edit] Electoral picture peculiarity
Why is the graphic depiction of electoral votes skewed? Rarely nowadays does one see democratic votes colored red and and republican votes blue. --maru (talk) Contribs 20:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
