Stuff and MapSense

Ok, these maps and cartograms will look familiar to anyone who took Geog 110 at the same time I did. These maps are done by the same people that made the cartogram that Dr. Kronenfeld used to demonstrate cartograms. Election Result 2006 Maps starts with a general choropleth style map showing red and blue areas and then they show cartograms from the same data. They are beautifully done. Of course it is hard to see Virginia etc, but contrasts in the map say a great deal about the political distribution nonetheless. Good descriptions accompany each map so I will not try to recap it here.
