How do you create new SVG for different elections? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spongesquid ( talk • contribs) 21:46, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Theres a problem with colors in these maps. The majority of the time Democratic states are shown in Blue and Republican states are in Red. For most of the maps it is the other way around, except when it gets to the 2000 election, the colors are switched to how they normally are shown. I can understand the colors switching around Lincoln's time because thats when the Democrat and Republican partys switched ideals (i dont quite understand it myself, but i've read about it). But after Lincoln and up until today the Democratc are mostly represented with Blue colors and the Republicans are Red, so I think that should be corrected and changed, because it is quite confusing.

The national boundaries shown for the 1848 election map are incorrect. By the time the election took place, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo had already been signed and what is now New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and California were part of the United States as then unorganized territory. However, the 1848 election map incorrectly shows these areas as still part of Mexico. Keraunos 18:21, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
