Federal Elections in the United States of America
|
 I'm very pleased to announce that Part I of Federal Elections in the United States of America is now online, with the results of the 1996, 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, as well as state-level general election maps for presidential, U.S. Senate and House of Representatives elections since 1996 (which include 2000-2006 Senate and House election maps originally published in this blog for the 2006 mid-term election).
Speaking of election maps, I would like to note that for House of Representatives elections, map colors are determined according to the number of seats, not votes; the latter are only used to break ties in the number of seats. Thus, in the 2006 election both Arizona and Mississippi had equal party representation in the House, but the Republican Party won a majority of the popular vote in these two states, and consequently both appear red on the map. Incidentally, I use the exact same procedure for other countries' election maps.

Elecciones Presidenciales y Legislativas en Chile
|
(This posting is also available in English.)
 Me complace anunciar la publicación de la primera parte de Elecciones Presidenciales y Legislativas en Chile, que presenta los resultados de las elecciones generales celebradas en el país sudamericano a partir de 1989.
Por cierto, hoy se cumple el vigésimo aniversario del referéndum del 5 de octubre de 1988, en el cual el pueblo chileno rechazó la continuación del mandato presidencial del Gen. Augusto Pinochet hasta 1997. Chile's democratic restoration, two decades on, en Global Economy Matters presenta una breve exposición en inglés sobre la transición de Chile a la democracia.

I'm pleased to announce the publication of Part I of Presidential and Legislative Elections in Chile, which presents the results of general elections held in the South American country since 1989.
By the way, today's the twentieth anniversary of the October 5, 1988 referendum, in which the people of Chile rejected the continuation of Gen. Augusto Pinochet's presidential mandate until 1997. Chile's democratic restoration, two decades on, on Global Economy Matters, has a brief overview of Chile's transition to democracy.
