Cartogram of Elections
Cartograms are maps where geographic space is intensionally distorted based on values of a theme. This is a cartogram map of the election outcomes for the 2004 election. As you can tell the sizes and shapes of the states have been distorted to more so show the area with greater population. This is useful because many times there are rather large states thtat are un populated but appear to have more pull than smaller states with many more inhabitants.
