Compare that map to this map:

To see it most obviously, look at the California coastline.

The red/blue map is far too simple, as counties that are almost evenly divided still show as one candidate.
Try the purple map at http://www.princeton.edu/~rvdb/JAVA/election2004/.

:thumbsup: Thanks, I've been looking for something like this.

Oh, that is really the map for national inbreeding, with red being the worst offenders.

Wow...could you be any more of an elitist asshole?

The map of the entire states for both the 2000 and 2004 elections looks just like the map during the War of Northern Aggression in 1861. One-hundrend fourty-three years later and we are still divided.

Draw the map up however you want. It still adds up to an Electoral and Popular vote win for BUSH.

No way! Really?

The point is that the OP's map may be technically accurate but it's certainly not very informative.

Thanks for the update there, Ace. We're not arguing about that, we arguing that the OP's map is not only NOT informative, taking it at face value tends to lead to a wrong conclusion. That map would not suggest that 48% of the country voted for Kerry, it makes it look like Bush is supported by the vast majority of the country, which he is if you think land can show support 🙂

Or where the highest concentration of idiots live? 😛

Those may be the areas that expect the government to take care of them.

One of the more accurate maps I've seen.

Here are a few from Michael Gastner, Cosma Shalizi, and Mark Newman of the University of Michigan that more accurately depict the recent election as well.

Alaska, Utah, Oklahoma and Nebraska rock. They are the only states that went entirely Republican. I'd like to thank them all.

NC voted for Bush in a landslide as well even if the VP candidate was our Senator. We have too many low income/welfare ignant areas to go all red though. Hopefully, through urban renewal we can bulldoze all of these people into South Carolina.

<---Didn't vote for Bush because he knew it was not necessary.(Badnarik)

I totally agree 🙂 We first need to repeal the tobacco welfare act of 2004.
