File talk:PartyVotes-Presidents.png

On December 10, the question was asked, "why is this not vertical". I am replying here in the Commons for the benefit of any other wikis that may have an interest in this image...

My answer to that is this:
The graph is a timeline, and follows a standard timeline convention of the time axis running left-to-right. This image is a companion to related US govt politics timeline graphs such as the one shown in the description thumbnail. But the ultimate answer is this: Use this graph however you want. In the immortal words of Stephen Colbert (quoting Lawrence Lessig): "Remixing is OK." That's what I've done here myself. Both of the graphs mentioned here are works done by other people that I've taken and built upon. So if you see a way to improve on this, please remix away. You have my express permission. That's what the license is all about.--ChrisnHouston (talk) 03:13, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Name alignment

Wouldn't it be more useful if the winners were all on one side? It's kinda a pain (IMHO) to have to switch between the top and the bottom every time a new party takes over, and makes it much more difficult to compare winners to winners. (I'd do it but I have no clue where to start!) DimeCadmium (talk) 09:38, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

2016

2016 is relevant to this timeline and it should be updated once the final vote results are in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.181.207.232 (talk • contribs) 19:34, 14 November 2016‎ (UTC)
