Color Coded Election Results By County

Sunday 14 November 2004, 12:59 am
Keywords:

Using County-by-County election return data from USA Today together with County boundary data from the US Census' Tiger database, they produced a graphic depicting the results. Of course, blue is for the democrats, red is for the republicans, and green is for all other. Each county's color is a mix of these three color components in proportion to the results for that county.

The results are more realistic and revealing than the state-by-state maps used by the news networks.
