2004 election maps.PNG

Three ways of looking at the 2004 U.S. presidential election results. Top left, a standard red/blue map of statewide electoral results. Bottom left, a county-by-county electoral map. Top right, a cartogram in which the results of the bottom left have been resized according to population.

The top right image failed to gain consensus on FPC a while back. This new image helps to clear up some of the issues people had, by comparing the standard image with other maps; the result is informative, thought-provoking, and just a tad striking. (I would prefer if people unfamiliar with the meaning of the top left image didn't vote, considering the image's target audience, but it's entirely your choice.) Credits are complex, so I recommend you see the image's page. Illustrates
