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:

Cartographic political analytics -- fun for the whole family! Now, with more colors! Collect them all! Trade 'em with your friends (batteries not included)
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!
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?
See the link I just posted in reply #13. I haven't looked how far it breaks down the vote.
Bookmarked!

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