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

Also, sometimes it say “won” or lost" behind the candidates, sometimes there is an asterisk, but for many entries, there is no information who won and who lost?

The asterisk is explained up top, and they only indicate who won when it is backwards from the popular vote total.
