Republican Country?

I think not.

While many of us (myself included) looked at that big map election night and went "Holy crap! Practically the whole country is red!", the truth is far more complex.

The mistake, looking at that vast sea of red, is to correlate land area with support and red as total support.

So, by way of refuting this, here's a better set of maps.

Yep, big islands of pinko liberals all over the place.

Edward Tufte would be proud.
