US Presidential Election Maps

[ratmonkey]

This is kind of neat. Shows some different ways to show the classic red vs. blue American political map that we get treated to every four years. Cartograms that take into account population, electoral college weight, and maps that use a red-purple-blue color scale to represent the popular vote instead of simply showing red or blue for who won. I've seen this before, but don't know if it was linked on this forum or not.

Change the year at the end of the URL and it shows previous elections.
