Cartograms

http://politicalmaps.org/2004-presidential-election-maps/

A Cartogram map is a form of map that shows a certain thematic mapping varible. Whether its crop growth or in this example population. This Cartogram map of the United states shows how the US election would really look like on a map if it were to take in the variable of population and not just state be cause some states have less people living in them. This map shows a clear example of this by showing how big places are like California which a way bigger population then say kansas which is smaller and has a lesser population.
