this is the graphic that i developed during this period. i’m happy with how it turned out. it’s an interesting tool to use. the comparisons are really quite startling in some instances (as the image above shows). you can compare the 2006 Senate election outcomes side-by-side with other demographics such as median income as well as previous election results. all states that held a senate election are available.
