	Please let me know if I've made any mistakes or if you have any questions/comments.

	I needed more time. How about five minutes?

	miyomiyo1050:	Jan 14th, 2010 at 21:46 GMT	3 points
	The spread of scores seems pretty good at the moment... I'l raise the time limit if people agree that that's needed. If you think more time is needed, rate waterjoe's comment up.

	This is a really cool quiz, and I agree that more time would probably be a good idea.

	Good quiz! Is there any particular reason as to why you picked those specific elections?

	Nebraska should be acceptable for "Obama, Dole, Ford, Dewey," as well as "McCain, Dole, Ford, Dewey" since Obama got one elector out of Nebraska due to its distribution of electoral votes by Congressional districts (although he lost the state, he won the 2nd district, which is where his elector came from). @willa_p: those were elections that were very contested, with neither president winning in a landslide, and marked a change in voting patterns for many states. If he had chosen something like 1984, the answers would have been too similar (since Reagan won everything but Minnesota)

	I think you should have left off Alaska and Hawaii, it was pretty obvious with N/A for 1948.

	Hmm, I put Texas for box number four in the right column, but it didn't show up. Might have been a goof on my part since I was throwing stuff out in the last fifteen seconds. (Edited to add: Went back and tried again. TX works, but spelling out Texas doesn't for some reason.) Good quiz. The only broad belt of states that I missed on was the Appalachians in the upper right. Odd to think how often they went Democrat before Bush came along.

	This was fun. Great mix of years. Thank you.

	According to the U.S. Election Atlas (http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/national.php?year=1948), Truman won Ohio. It was really close (49.48% to 49.24%), but in the end Truman received all 25 electoral votes.
