Because "red" only meant Communist then? I guess there are only so many basic colors, and they have to get reused.

The whole red/blue political color scheme is completely backwards.

I believe that was deliberate.

According to the networks, they alternated every Presidential election between red for Republicans/blue for Democrats and red for Democrats/blue for Republicans. No one paid much attention to the colors until the election of 2000, the controversial Bush v. Gore contest, which happened to be a year they were using red for Republicans and blue for Democrats. Suddenly, everyone became aware of the colors, and the colors used that year stuck.

I remember networks using colors such as yellow in previous elections.

It wasn't just red or blue. It was whatever.
