2008 US election result maps
« on: November 10, 2008, 09:34:07 AM »
You may have seen this recently.  Mark Newman of the University of Michigan created election result maps as cartograms to represent the states scaled according to population and number of electoral college votes, rather than actual land area.
 
Electoral college vote.


Popular vote, County level results.  Purples are counties that contain a closer equilibrium of McCain votes to Obama votes.
