As a follow up to yesterday's post about Red, Blue and fatal car accidents, I bring you this lovely set of maps. Maps are wonderful. Making pictures from numbers to turn data into information is wonderful. Using maps to show pictures made from numbers to turn data into information is almost orgasmic.
Nan, from All the Good Names Were Taken, linked to this map in a post she did after the election. You can find it HERE much larger than this.
The top middle map is the Red and Blue States from the 2012 Election. The other two maps are by counties (I think. Help me, please, Nan). The big map at the bottom breaks the voting down by counties but is shaded according to population density (people per square mile, not level of stupidity).
However the BEST location to find pictures that tell stories is at Russian Sphinx. This lady makes the most awesome charts, maps, graphs and tables. Browse around her website and see if you don't agree. The post I have linked to is a comparison of handbag prices in USA and Moscow. Moscow where conspicuous consumption is a way of life when you have that much money.
