The Transamericans were the highest category of service offered by the United States Railroad Administration (and later USRail) between 1961 and 1987. Inspired by the Trans Europ Express category launched in Western Europe a few years prior, they represented one facet - along with rolling stock...

1860-1872 is what I’m able to access.

Anyway, with that in mind, here's the district maps for 1951 and 1953. 1951 saw only very minor changes compared to 1949, with boundaries changing around downtown and the Pico-Robertson area, but no districts moving significantly one way or another. In 1953, on the other hand, things were...

Okay, so on reflection I don't think all those elections actually were unopposed. Having looked through all elections up to 1955, ourcampaigns.com shows every single race as unopposed, and the only source they cite is Wikipedia, which simply lists the dates each member was elected. The city...

I did mention this, yes.

Nope, it was just the two Democrats. It is worth noting that in LA’s case it’s actually controversial - there was a recent scandal where councillors were caught on tape making racist remarks about an impressive number of different groups while also plotting to gerrymander the districts, and as...

So I've been getting into two different areas lately: the Baltics, and Los Angeles. Why these two at the same time, you may ask? I don't know, but here's the other one. Since 1925, the Los Angeles City Council has used pretty much the same electoral system: fifteen members are elected from...

I like this a lot, but would Dublin still dominate as much ITTL? IOTL it and Belfast were about the same size by the time of partition, and while it might not get to quite that point without the Ascendancy promoting Belfast’s industries, a lot of the factors causing Belfast’s decline also aren’t...

Aren’t a majority of county-level officials in the Deep South still Democrats?

It certainly seems like the No vote lined up with the PQ/BQ vote to a very large extent. Also, as so often happens, I’m obliged to tell you that I have in fact mapped the later elections, I just haven’t posted all of them. Not that you should necessarily let that stop you.

I like the idea that the independent Cape would simply roll back all legislation passed after 1910.

That's right, yes. Imagine the Catholics in particular would've won a few more places otherwise.

And 1922. There's less to add to this, in part because I described it more thoroughly at the time and in part because I actually mapped it by parish at the time. I may at some point go over the results in detail to see if I can untangle the "other" category used for the percentage section of...

Okay, so here's the 1920 Constituent Assembly election in all its confusing glory. I'll copy-paste the description I wrote for the old map I made of it: A couple of finer points that I didn't deal with at the time, because the old map wasn't detailed enough to show them: the Latvian state...

And here's the basemap. Situation as of 1934 in Latvia and 1937 in Estonia. Thick lines represent counties in Estonia and electoral constituencies in Latvia, so they're obviously not too helpful here. I think I'll redo them at some point.
