Also here's a spreadsheet I kept meaning to send to @Witch0Winter with the state legislature numbers going back to 1970.

No, there probably are mistakes because of how I had to fill it in - basically trying to match the lists of numbers on wiki (which only add a new line of cells when the number changes) to election dates. It is a staggering observation that many US state legislatures have more changes in seat numbers from midterm defections (or immediately after the election!) than from the elections themselves, which frequently have no impact on the seat balance.First of all, cool thing.
Second of all, I noticed some (well one) mistake from a brief look. It lists Arkansas as having a GOP state senate in 2006 and 2008, 27 Republicans to 8 Democrats. The numbers were actually the other way around (as the Republicans didn't take back the senate until 2012).
Or maybe I'm misreading this thing since I booted it up in OpenOffice Calc. If so, sorry.
Sorry, what are you asking for - a blank county map?If it's not a problem, could I have one large sheet of US states and all of their counties? I might want to do some stuff after the election for county legislatures and executive offices and the like.

I have them on another computer for each state separately, but not all together - that would be a big file.Yes, but for each state. One for Arizona, California, Georgia, Texas, etc.
All of the states separate, not one big US map showing all of the counties.

Remind me and I'll do it when I have access to them.Even if you could send them one at a time, preferably from least amount of counties to most, that would be appreciated.
I mean, it's not like I'm getting Texas or Georgia done asap.
Yes I know there's a dozen arbitrary simplifications that could probably start a flamewar or an actual war, but it's adequate for my purposes. What do those other languages in the corner signify? Time will tell.
Rather than having to come up with my own colour scheme, I cleverly just nicked one from another map so it's their problem (yes it also makes Hungarian look more similar to Germanic than Slavic does, which is a choice).Serbo-Croation springs to mind for the wars.
Do the colours mean anything in particular or are they just arbitrary? I thought they were vaguely to do with language groups but then the Celtic languages are the same colour as the Germanics.
