Indeed, though the first properly competitive election was probably that of 1785, which was coincidentally the first one not to feature John Hancock. I tried to do red for Benjamin Lincoln, but it turned out kind of flat. I'll try upping the saturation in future, but this can definitely work for, say, a Republican splinter candidate. (Not the Democratic-Republicans, though; I have those pegged as more towards green than red.)Finally! Multiple colours required!
Yeah, I was thinking using an inset for when Boston was split up into districts and labeling them off to the side when it wasn't.Inset is my advice. Or just do what @Ares96 does at times and have them labelled off to the side.
