GREAT Election Graphics
The Red/Blue States Map Now Makes Sense You know I'm a Good-Graphics-Make-Good-Communications nut ? This is NOT a good graphic.... ...because it looks like Red States win! And we all know what really happened. So map genius Mark Newman , using programs he co-invented modified each state to reflect how many electoral College votes it has to come up with this wonder.... Lotsa votes = bigger state on the map. Voila! Now you see why the blue states called the election. There are lots of other great maps of this ilk on Dr. Newman's site . Check it out. Then ask your favorite TV news source why you haven't seen this kind of graphic.
