Analytical maps of the election results. Red, blue......and purple.

Check out this link:

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/2008/

It's a page of election maps that show more than just simple red and blue, down to the county level, reflecting the various degrees of the popular vote to one side of the ballot or the other.

Interesting stuff. There's also a link on the page to the 2004 results.

It's nice to see all the purple out there. Diversity is a good thing.

Enjoy.

the darned map won't work for me. Is it because I am in california?

 

[ChickaD]

yes.

This is neat...Thanks for the link. What is really funny is on the bottom map, a whole state may be red but you can easily find the big cities by looking for the bright blue spot. Interesting how different rural voters are from city dwellers.

Like in California, the entire coastline is blue and then it fades out almost perfectly as it reaches more rural areas...

Very interesting map. Election night I was playing with the one on MSNBC.

I like the purple one, too.

LOVE the purple!

I especially liked the cartograms that shift the electoral map by population rather than land size. Very cool!

Debiraymond - scroll down. It worked for me and I'm in California.

 

[I have WHAT in my yard?]
