U.S. Presidential Election Maps from 1992 to 2020

Election Countdown provides individuals with an opportunity to review past elections and projections for future elections. This page notes the way each state voted, whether Democratic or Republican, according to that state's electoral college vote.  Election Countdown has chosen to start with the 1992 election because that's approximately when the Internet became public and was starting to expand beyond academics.*  The columns to the left of the page represent each state's number of electoral votes, and to the right is a graphical representation of the United States illustrating how each state voted.  The maps are in descending order.
