Map day has become Map Weekend!

Here they are in all their cartographic glory: All the election map post-mortems. (They were just lying around the internet gathering dust anyway).

These graphic representations of the election's outcome are thought provoking.
(Did I miss any? Send 'em to thebigpicture -at- optonline -dot- net)

Be sure to checkout:

Proportional Electoral Map
(this one is my favorite -- because land doesn't vote, people do)

Popular Vote, Population Density
similar idea

Red & Blue World
You know how the States voted; Here's how the World did

Purple America
a sentimental favorite

The Kids Are Alright
How the Youth of America voted . . .

County-by-County vote, with Population
Self explanatory

2000 vs 2004 County by County Election Results

Where did their votes come from?
an interesting 3D comparison

Electoral College Over Represents Rural Areas
no kidding?

which leads to the very sad
Voting: Free versus Slave States
Look how far we’ve come as a country

New America redistricted
DeLay loves redistricting, so . . .

and just for laughs, Jesusland
guaranteed to offend someone

Cartographic political analytics -- fun for the whole family! Now, with more colors! Collect them all! Trade 'em with your friends (batteries not included)

WONK HEAVEN!!!

sweet....

I like "Where did their votes come from?" the best but I can't read it all that well. I'll have to hunt for a better version.

The only thing wrong with this one is that instead of giving Canada all of Michigan, we should just give them Detroit. The rest of Michigan would be red if it wasn't for Detroit.

Notice under the slave versus free, they compare Republicans to slaveholders? Don't they remember? Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and he founded the Republican Party! Of course, to a leftists, slavery is freedom and vice versa. It's all Orwellian now.

I did post this to the secession map!

"newly succeeded Canadian"

An excellent cartographer and a high school English flunkie!

I believe you meant SECEDED -- after all, the only thing canada has SUCCEEDED in is sending their biggest losers down here to be "newscasters" and semi-actors.

Please DO go to Canada as you have ALL promised when you lost!

Nah, don't give 'em anything. If the leftists want to leave so damn badly, let them abandon their homes and land and migrate, just like the Pilgrims did. Certainly there's plenty of room for them in, say, the Yukon Territory. We'll spread out, take over the factories they've abandoned (since they hate capitalism anyway, why let them keep the machinery that helps perpetuate it?), and be better off without them.

If leftists wish to at least TRY to understand how elections work (e.g. your side loses, so you go along with the results and work to convince others to vote your way next time. You don't actively resist.) then they're welcome to stay. If they feel they just cannot stay in a land of lower taxes, then they're free to go. Oh man... did I say "free"? Leftists hate that word.

If that crap makes you feel better in the face of such staggering electoral rejection, your position is truly pitiful.

Well said.

Anyone have a map by congressional district?

Here is an election map and stat link that lest you view everything down to votes by county.

2004 Election Results

[Batrachian]

That Jesusland map cracks me up. This is how liberals think they're going to win the next election. More hatred, rage, insults, and whining. I must say they always stay true to form. Unfortunately for them predictability is not a good quality in politics.

[Arrowhead1952]

See the link I just posted in reply #13. I haven't looked how far it breaks down the vote.

Obviously you've never seen the cemetary turnout in Chicago.

I love maps.

I know the last few on the list are blatantly partisan but, hey, add your own to the list. Maps are a great way to view the election.

See my post #19 Petronski...and trying thinking for a change. I love maps. I posted the link before viewing them.
