Is this really what our country looks like?

The US presidential election has been probably the most talked about news story in for sure the past month, but probably longer than that. This past Tuesday, the American public chose Barack Obama to become the President-elect of the United States. Obama will take office in a few short months and become the 44th president.

Since then, the presidential election results have been quite the hot topic. I've come across a site from the University of Michigan that has created several maps and cartograms to depict the results. The cartograms that they have put up are especially helpful to see how the election results were spread out across the country. It is actually very interesting to see. Check it out here.
