How The States Voted In Every Presidential Election

The citizens of the United States have elected 44 presidents in 57 elections since the Constitution was adopted in 1789. Since the Civil War, presidential contests have been dominated by America's two major political parties - the Republicans and the Democrats. But over the last 150 years, state allegiance to these two parties has shifted greatly. Watch to see how the states voted in every presidential election since 1860.

Its not factual in one respect! Blue was used to represent Republicans up until recent times. Some time after Ronald Reagan, Democratic bias within the media changed the colors that represent the Democrats from Red because of the use of the Communist term REDS to describe the policies and politics of the Democratic Party. Without ever saying one word, the entire NEWS media changed the colors from Red to Blue overnight, in yet another example of Social Engineering to manipulate the population. Today nobody even remembers that taking place except a few who recognize what is gong on around them for what it is! Dumbing down of the American People through its education system which is now nothing more than an "Indoctrination System" has taken its toll. We have become delusional in what we feel, and Reality has no bearing on thought any longer :(

[@honestgbfan5324]

@@maxbentley9162 i was alive and involved in politics at the time. Like i said, if you go back and watch actual news footage from the time, Republicans had been BLUE. If you watch a recently made rewritten history version, it will show red. So FACTUALLY, the people of this and prior decades are being manipulated to believe false premises that then become thr basis of thier belief. The original documentation proves this! In the past, when Persia,Egypt, Rome, and even modern day Germany did not want the facts to be known, they would eliminate facts pertaining to that such as monuments, writings, even carved images were destroyed and removed from view until that knowledge became forgotten. Today their is a push to misrepresent or even eliminate knowlefge about a war fought by the Democratic party, predominately in the south, to keep slavery alive! Again those facts are almost daily news! As recent as 1960s this hatred and racism, perpetrated by the Democratic Party, was still daily national news as democratic govrnors in such states as Alabama and Mississippi etc, used local law enforcement and State Troopers to attack the civil rights movement. President Johnson, in order to pass the Civil Rights Act, had to abandon his hate filled Democratic Party and go to the Republicans to get the bill passed! These truths are no longer taught by the liberal based education system and the knowledge is being forgotten. Soon, with the liberal backed media, no one will rember that it has been Republicans that have always fought for freedom, and librrals who fought against it. Its easy to look up. But only if you go back to the original information to find. The truth is being buried to hide these acts, and lies are being taught as truth. But if you do not look, you will never see! Nothing more needs to be said, as the truth is out there and speaks for itself once found! But the lies are placed within your lap in the hopes you are to lazy, uneducated, or biased, to get up and find reality! :)

Because Democrats and Republicans were completely flipped in ideology back then compared to where they are now.

[@GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

Not flipped in ideology, just flipped geographically. It's a common misconception that both parties did a complete flip. There are extremely easy counter arguments to make on that point, such as Widrow Wilson's foreign policy, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover's strong belief in capitalism, FDR's belief in big government, and the like.

[@asherlanzone2042]

+Global Warming Skeptic Well actually that's not true there was an ideological flip as well. Specifically when it comes to the principles of progressiveness. It was, however, different party's entirely which is where the confusion comes in. While they were "Republicans" they aren't the same republicans we see today. They were Radical Republicans pushing for change in ways often viewed on as radical and progressive by their days standards. What we saw changing in the 30s and finally solidified as today's modern Republican Party with Reagan has changed completely from the party's original purpose which is partially why it was so confusing what the party genuinely stood for before Reagan. Civil war era democrats were remarkably similar, however, to modern conservative republicans with principals such as tradition and maintaining course in the country strongly opposing progressive thinking and change in society a direct conflict with its modern message.

[@GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

Asher Lanzone It's not confusing at all. It is confusing because Liberals always try and rewrite history. They equate a geographical flip with an ideological one, which is not the case. That's not to say that the parties haven't changed, but they haven't changed as much as you think they have. Again, Woodrow Wilson supported the League of Nations and was pro immigration. This today would be just as progressive as anything, supporting strong alliances with European nations. As also stated, there is the Coolidge-Hoover era where Republicans were very similar to how they are today: Anti-Immigration, Pro Market, while the Democrats were the pro immigration party, which is why they got routed from 1920-1932. Further evidence of this: Look at FDR, known as the father of Progressivism. Guess where he won the highest percentage of voters? The South. If your logic of an ideological flip were real, the South would have remained conservative and voted for the Republican Hoover or Landon, but states like South Carolina voted for FDR at a rate of 90%. And then there's the McCarthy era, where he was strongly opposed to the New Deal and socialist policies in general. This was well before the 1960s when Liberals say the "flip" happened. So again, there was no ideological flip, and the historical evidence demonstrates this.

[@asherlanzone2042]

Global Warming Skeptic I appreciate your thought out argument, but I would like to assert that Woodrow Wilson acted purely on economic pressures following World War 1 to make sure that something of a similar magnitude would never happen again, and I would also like to point out that we did not even after that join the League of Nations diminishing its backbone one of the most key reasons it failed. And to say that FDR won both the Northern and Southern states initially off of principal is a fallacy it was coming off of a steaming post Civil War era. The South refused to associate in any way with Northern Republicans because of their role in the Civil War. FDR won the South out of hatred for Republicans and the north by promising change among other things that appealed to a majority of American citizens at the time. This lead to a strong victory by FDR. I said initially because his second and subsequent elections all were won off of the success he had in office making some of the most approved of change in American history partially because of his ability to control both sides of the isle. During his presidency ideological mindsets caught up with the political reality and a "flip" occurred in the North and South. Now again the republican party did not adopt former Democratic policy but instead its own brand of being merely the opposite of the Northern party who then changed to be based off of a far more liberal mindset.

@Jonathan Froger If you watched the video you'd see the specter of the civil war and race in most elections. Other than his home state the only Goldwater wins were in the first tier of succeeding states. A similar voting block occurred in 48 and 68. The candidates who pulled off these moves were the old school racists George Wallace and Strom Thurmond (one of those 2 of 22 you cite). This is not hard, Fox News' own internal research found a majority of its viewers were strongly in favor of massive socialist programs even widespread support for the Warren wealth tax. This is why tough guy 8 0'clock Sean Hannity can't beat bowtie sissy Tucker Carlson. It was the conservatives only path to victory after thirty plus years of the greatest prosperity in mankind's history.

Up until 1996 (between the beginning of the Civil Rights movement and 2000), the vast majority of the states are more or less competitive.
