Rhode Island is next on the election database schedule, as I am presently unable to access the results for Michigan in 1990. Here's a town map.

Do tell.Great maps, it's a shame about the blurriness of the source maps leading to those borders though. I know a way to clean them up, but it might make the numbers look awful.
I just take the blank maps, copy them into Paint.Net, increase the contrast to maximum and lower the brightness to usually about 63% - that's a good way to get hard black lines, but as I say it tends to mess up things like numbers a bit.Do tell.

Oh I see, I didn't realise it was deliberate. I can see the argument for that, but the problem is it immediately makes it look like an aliased jpeg when your eyes are used to seeing that.View attachment 23378
My lines are perfectly aliased, though; I just have the white pixel-thick borders for a dual purpose: to better show district boundaries in cases where the subdivisions are mapped, and to better show the district labels and boundaries against one another when the district is filled with a dark color. For example, here's what the map would look like without them (and with unopposed districts in the darkest shade, to better show how districts look in the darkest shade):

I tried that really early on, but for congressional elections the white county borders ended up standing out more than the congressional district borders, so I added the outlines to the districts to make them hopefully stand out even more.Numbers with the white outline and borders without could work?
