Political Cartograms: The Electoral College

According to the convention.

One last maplike chart, and this time the same-old-same-old one. Each state sized as its senators + representatives.

(The image is a bit high-resolution; try zooming, or right-click > Open Image in New Tab.)

538 squares are enough to shape each state somewhat, but I had to fudge on, oh, the Colorado Panhandle. Sorry, Georgia. The country as a whole looks almost too normal. Made in that fancy cartography program, Microsoft Excel.

That wasn’t a minute— go vote!
