With the school year all but over (well, it’s probably over everywhere but here in Manitoba) this site may not be immediately useful but for those of you covering American Social Studies or History, this is a cool little site that you’ll come back to in the fall.
270 to Win shows which candidate got how many Electoral College votes in each election right back to when the system was first started. You can even find out the actual tally of the votes. There’s all kinds of historical data for the older maps, including a chart that shows the margin of victory by the color fo the state.
It’s a neat tool if you’re actively following the current election or if you’re researching the results of earlier votes.
