Elections 2004: Election Focus 2004
Elections 2004: this is a very complete collection of documents on the website of the University of Michigan. The University of Michigan Documents Center has developed this helpful and informative website that culls together hundreds of useful websites about the upcoming presidential election of 2004. From the homepage visitors can look through a number of sections listing sites dedicated to such topics as Policy Issues, Candidates, and Campaign. Within each of these broad thematic areas are contained more specific areas dedicated to links on important subtopics such as campaign finances, media coverage, terrorism, economics, and many others. Scholars will want to take a look at the Academic Research section, which contains links to online periodical databases and some links to sites with recent working papers on the subject.
Election 2004 Results posted by Princeton University. Unlike other analyses of the election data, this site offers county-by-county election returns which show, not just red (Republicans) or blue (Democrats), but graduations of color in proportion to the results, as well as counties carried by other parties (green). The site also offers links to other maps.

Campaign issues for analysis of this and previous campaigns.
There was a general rise in turnout in the 2004 election — around six percentage points, the exact figure varies depending on which denominator you use for eligible voters (see the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate and Michael McDonald's United States Elections Project for two different estimates). Final results are available at these two sites:
Committee for the Study of the American Electorate (http://election04.ssrc.org/research/csae_2004_final_report.pdf)
United States Elections Project (http://elections.gmu.edu/voter_turnout.htm)

In addition, two articles and an op-ed opinion column concerning the elections were published in February 2005 in issue #7 of Living Archives.

Presidential elections in the past: HarpWeek (the Harper's Weekly website) has launched two new, free Websites. The Presidential Election site features political cartoons and prints from Harper's Weekly, Vanity Fair, Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, and Puck from 1860 to 1912. The Library of Congress site offers cartoons from the political print collection (1766-1876). <http://www.elections.harpweek.com/> and <http://www.loc.harpweek.com/> Finally, a special section of the site is devoted to the controversial presidential election of 1876-1877 (Hayes versus Tilden) and its parallels with the 2000 election. It contains a day-by-day account of events, an analysis of the conflict within the electoral college and many contemporary cartoons (primarily by Thomas Nast). <http://elections.harpweek.com/controversy.htm>
