US Election Results

The two maps above compare the 2004 and the 2008 US election results on a state by state basis. Each state has been scaled so that the area of the state on the map is proportional to the population of the state. This makes the shift in opinion easier to see, as it is not masked by the low population and large area of some states.

Copied and scaled down from Mark Newman’s Election Maps.
