 2004 Presidential Election Maps | Political Maps
The (contiguous 48) states of the country are colored red or blue to indicate whether a majority of their voters voted for the Republican candidate (George W. Bush) or the Democratic candidate (John F. Kerry) respectively.
That is, states are drawn with a size proportional not to their sheer topographic acreage — which has little to do with politics — but to the number of their inhabitants, states with more people appearing larger than states with fewer, regardless of their actual area on the ground.
The presidential election is not decided on the basis of the number of people who vote each way, however, but on the basis of the electoral college.

 The SparkNotes Guide to the 2004 United States Presidential Election
The U.S. Census Bureau published a table showing the alarming gap in the numbers of younger and older voters: in some states, less than 20 percent of eligible 18–24 year olds voted, and in nearly all states the percentage of 45-year-old and older voters who actually voted is double or triple that of younger voters.

I begin with "Election results" (or possibly even simply "Elections" to reduce length) because that's the most important term in all this class of articles, and the chance of ambiguity with other subjects is less likely.
A breakdown of the presidential primary by county for a small state like New Hampshire can likely be accomodated on a single page while the Texas results may need to be spread over several pages.
Starting with "Election results" would be best because it is the most important element; starting with anything else could be confused with other developments in that same country or other developments in a certain year.

The "blue states" from the 2004 election have been merged with Canada to form a single nation, which is labeled the "United States of Canada".
The map's appearance highlights the fact that the "red states" in the lower 48 are all contiguous with one another, whilst the "blue states" are also contiguous when combined with Canada.
In addition, in most states (especially in most of the swing states, but also even in some solidly "red" or "blue" states), a large urban–rural split or geographic split exists in which one side tilts one way and another part the other way.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/2004 United States presidential election controversy, exit polls
After the 2004 U.S. presidential election there were allegations of data irregularities and systematic flaws which may have affected the outcome of both the presidential and local elections.
National Election Pool, the consortium which conducts exit polls, has stated that the early data was inaccurate due to regulations preventing pollsters from approaching voters, legal barriers, and their belief that Democrats are more willing to answer exit polls.
Others state that the Caltech paper, which is unsigned and lacks statistical rigor, is more of the nature of a position paper than an academic report, and that by its own admission it analyzes data already known to be flawed and compromised.

The ‘October surprise’ that never was in the 1980 election was the release of the 53 hostages (previously) former American Embassy officials held by Iranian militants since 4 November 1979.
One could add that regardless of the actual election result it is clear that disenfranchisement of the fl and poor votes seem to be prevalent again as in 2000 especially in the swing state of Florida and elsewhere too.
