This is nifty: Maps and Cartograms of the Election Results…

Not your ordinary maps: Cartographers from the University of Michigan have plotted the election results on something called cartograms (I never heard of them either).

So then, a cartogram is a map in which the sizes of states have been rescaled according to their population. That is, states are drawn with a size proportional not to their sheer topographic acreage -- which has little to do with politics -- but to the number of their inhabitants, states with more people appearing larger than states with fewer, regardless of their actual area on the ground. Thus, on such a map, the state of Rhode Island, with its 1.1 million inhabitants, would appear about twice the size of Wyoming, which has half a million, even though Wyoming has 60 times the acreage of Rhode Island.

This results in some really strange perspectives. Check it out here:
