The graph is a great idea, but difficult to use to pin down the statistics for a particular year. While the time divisions in the graph are practical 2 year increments, the time labeling on the X-axis is in three year increments, making it difficult to pin down which year goes with which time increment. I recommend making the labels completely vertical, or possibly having more labels with narrower spacing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OriEri (talk • contribs) 16:52, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Supermajority Lines or Symbols[edit]

The sheer amount of information in this graphic is remarkable. This is honestly the best summarization of federal partisanship I’ve ever seen! My one concern is that there isn’t an easy way to determine when supermajorities were attained. I figure the best way to do that would be either (a) a horizontal line between the 60 and 70 lines through the 2/3 point for both halves of the graph, or (b) using a figure other than a square/diamond, or using sharper shades of blue/red, for the points at which supermajorities are reached.

I wish I could add it myself or upload it somewhere but it appears Wikipedia has locked this image, so I hope this gets to the original creator. This graphic is really awesome and I just hope it could be just a little bit awesomer for the next infophile who swings by here! Krisl3mon (talk) 16:53, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
