Since it is supertuesday and the maps will change a lot this will be a good time to make some good changes to the county map. So to all the mapguys out there:
Here is some tips from a colorblind person, posted earlier about the schedule map: "Here is my problem with the primary schedule map: February is the same color as May. April is the same color as march. I recommend using the following colors: Red, blue, gray, orange, yellow, black. The colors need to be at maximal saturation. Red and black need to be different in brightess. The gray needs to be not at all blue. The orange needs to be different from the yellow in brightness. NO GREEN. NO BROWN. NO PURPLE. NO PINK. I can't see any difference at all between blue and purple. And using pastel colors is just cruel because the colorblind have lower detection thresholds for saturation. Also, another way to code maps is with patterns. I'd love to see more pattern-coded maps. The colorblind actually have superior pattern-detection systems as a direct result of being colorblind." Jack Bornholm ( talk) 20:50, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Why not just change the color scheme do we really need the colors we have still I see abobe NO GREEN and NO PURPLE. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 04:07, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Why were North Dakota's results removed? They were shown a couple of days ago. Also, why aren't Alaska's results shown? If there is no source for Alaska's borough results, just color the entire state with the winning color, as in this map. -- 62.78.234.31 ( talk) 14:57, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
North Dakota and Alaska did not tally their votes by county, but by House District. Google Elections has the results of North Dakota by House District, and I personally have a copy of the Alaska results by House District. They can be seen on a national county map here: [1]. - Rarohla ( talk) 11 March 2012
This isn't completely true. If you check the Google Elections page, they show North Dakota's county results. I can't make the fix myself (no active account), so someone else please should. -- 71.32.123.239 ( talk) 05:53, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
According to the breakdown on the VI GOP website, Uncommitted (followed by Romney) won the island of St. Croix while Paul won the island of St. Thomas. This should be reflected in the map. - Rarohla ( talk) 11 March 2012 —Preceding undated comment added 18:50, 11 March 2012 (UTC).
They changed their results page after people started noticing Paul won but only got 1 delegate. 142.161.88.169 ( talk) 21:24, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Yes, we have always had 'yellow for Ron Paul' for U.S. Virgin Islands. From the authoritative Green Papers (linked from our Table, "10 March 2012: Virgin Islands Republican Party Chairman Herb Schoenbaum stated the that Romney won 6 delegates, Paul 1, uncommitted 2 in today's voting. After the vote tally, 1 uncommitted delegate switched to Romney. All 3 RNC delegates support Romney. The final count is Romney 7, Paul 1, Uncommitted 1." Charles Edwin Shipp ( talk) 01:16, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Are the solid colors for ND and AK only temporary? This is supposed to be a county map. It will defeat the purpose of the map if ND and AK are not going to show who won each county. TL565 ( talk) 02:48, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Is there any way we can get the house districts put on the map? I'd do it but I can't edit images with this account. 142.161.88.169 ( talk) 02:40, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
The Missouri caucuses are not having any sort of presidential straw poll, so there will be no results to report from that contest. The primary results should be put back in. Rarohla
The current map displays highly unofficial and I would argue highly incorrect results. Paul did not win St. Louis County, for example. This must be corrected. Rarohla ( talk) 03:50, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Rarohla, the consensus here is to add the Missouri primary to the map. I've created a new map and uploaded it which you seemed to have reverted. For everyone else, this is the file : http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Republican_Party_presidential_primaries_results_by_county,_2012_(corrected)-2.png
I can't seem to replace the file here directly, perhaps someone could do it for me? I believe my account is too new. -- RoteDelano ( talk) 20:05, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Oops, I apologize for blaming you for reverting it, turns out it was a different user that goes by Bielsko. Sorry about that. I still need help figuring out how to change the file. -- RoteDelano ( talk) 20:17, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
3 things:
Thank you for the great job you are all doing on this map. Jack Bornholm ( talk) 21:15, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Color of Maui County (Hawaii) should be corrected. Romney not Paul wins it. Paul maybe won with provisional ballots, but they aren't officially certified, so we mustn't count it. http://www.gophawaii.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Hawaii-Caucus-Results-Calculator-FINAL-031612-10pm.pdf
Bielsko ( talk) 22:32, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
What do you think about showing Puerto Rico results by representative districts? In North Dakota we shows results by congressional district... Results by repr. districts: http://64.185.222.182/cee_events/PRIMARIAS_PARTIDO_REPUBLICANO_2012_36/NOCHE_DEL_EVENTO_55/default.html
