New Image (Swing State map)

"A swing state (also, battleground state or purple state)"

As the opening line of this article states, purple best identifies which states are potentially up for grabs in 2008 when looking at the image. Previous images have used shades of blue and red, which may indicate bias. Similarly, green, yellow, and orange are not apt to use either because various Electoral College maps (readily available online) use these colors to identify third party victories and anomalies in past elections.

"Light red" in picture?

A.k.a. pink?

"State races" map

Perhaps I'm not understanding the map correctly, but I'm pretty sure that's a map of the 2016 election, not 2020. The map shows Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Pennsylvania as going for Trump. I've replaced it.-- Ermenrich ( talk) 00:12, 4 November 2021 (UTC) reply

Hey @ Ermenrich Erminrich: thanks for your edit and update! We have decided to change the map shown on this page to no longer be specific to any particular year's election, and rather a reflection of the long-term voting trends and tendencies by state, as discussed here at the time. If you wish to re-open this discussion, you may do so under a new topic on this page (or right here, if you would like to choose). A Red Cherry ( talk) 23:35, 17 July 2023 (UTC) reply
