Map Crazy!
BOP ^ | Nov. 6, 2004 | Barry Ritholtz

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)

Here is my favorite map.

Not only does it show the county election results in density shades, but it coincidently happens to be the map showing in red the greatest levels of crime, pollution, corruption, appeasers, socialist misfits, and crybabies.

The most important map is the purple America map. THe left has no true blue states...we have plenty of red and almost red....and many are just purple (red and blue blends)
Purple America is trending red.

How do we "know" how those 18-29 voted? Were they "carded" at the voting machine.

Exit polls apparently. A bad map. Also, if you remember, the 18-24 year old vote was a bust.

Election 2004: Vote divided on Issues of Religion

That "free versus slave states" map blog is obviously leftist. Probably pro-homosexuality too, judging from that "ENJOYtheDRAFT.com" website it's promoting.

But if you call yourself liberal, I suppose this shouldn't surprise us.

That's a fantastic map...even without the election info. I had no idea religious groups were distributed in this way.

We need to see the red-v-blue map by precinct. You'll find most of the blue areas become vanishingly small, moreso than the by-county map.

This is important to counter those calling for national divisions (secession or ejection) along blue/red state lines. The problem wasn't states going blue or red, it was the high-population precincts that distorted the larger geographic divisions.

Probably the most important map:

Indicates political leaning by population density.

I don't take them seriously. I'm afraid to.

The problem wasn't states going blue or red, it was the high-population precincts that distorted the larger geographic divisions.

I think that's true. The division is very much urban/rural. You can see that clearly in the 3-D map. On another thread someone posted a much better version. I'll see if I can find it.

Not the Yukon. Tremendous waste of natural resources to populate that with lichen huggers and others of their ilk, imo.
