The percentages for 2016 only add up to 97, and the 40% bar is longer than the 41% of 2012.

Maybe 3% voted for a third party, and because they aren't shown the other bars were expanded to fill the entire space

They could've done a little green sliver like they did for 1980.

Looks like '95 has 5% third party votes. The lower bound for visually representing votes here may be somewhere between 5% and 3% for the purposes of this graphic
