Red-blue redux
I'm digging on a new red-blue election map put together by Christopher Healey at NC State.
His U.S. and state post-election maps aren't in the traditional red-blue primary colors. Rather, he uses different shades of intensity to represent how big victories in certain races are.
So in this one of North Carolina...
... we're a lot less fire-truck red and deep-sea blue and more mixed-sex pastel nursery colors.
The effect is all the more striking on the U.S. map, which looks a lot different than the one, say, CNN uses. You can pick up on where the differences aren't so great as well as where the divides are really the strongest.
Neat stuff.

It would be interesting to see how this year's election compares to the last one in 2004 using this same approach
