Cool Election Maps

[fings]

Rather than a red/blue map of the election, check out this by-county shades of purple map.

On the other hand, if you are a divider, check out someone's wishful thinking. Also, several people have noted the coincidental similarity of the election outcome votes with the pre-civil war free states vs. slave states. Again, looking at the purple map, I doubt things are as black and white (or red and blue) as that. But still, interesting.

I thought they left a little bit of the Northeast out of the non-Jesusland area.

Seriously, though, I was struck by the comparison of the pre-Civil War comparison. I agree with you, though. I think the purple map is the best one to show what's really going on.

The purple map is very cool :)

Thanks for putting that up, I'm going to have to spread the link around.
