Before we’re inundated by the results from the 2016 U.S. presidential election,*here are a couple of looks back at the 2012 election that explore the results from slightly different angles.
This map*shows the county-by-county results but the intensity is by raw vote totals, not percentages: the darker the colour, the more actual votes there are. It’s an attempt to compensate for counties of different sizes, but you still end up with*distortions if the county is both large*and populous. [Maptitude]
Most Democratic strength is in the cities; most Republican strength is in rural areas. This map*depicts the*opposites:*the urban counties*won by Mitt Romney in 2012 and the rural counties where Obama won. [Maps on the Web]
