Perhaps old news, but browsing the web I came across this graphic of the 2016 Presidential election.

As Randall Munroe (who created the graphic for his XKCD webcomic) explains I like the idea of cartograms (distorted population maps), but I feel like in practice they often end up being the worst of both worlds—not great for showing geography OR counting people. And on top of that, they have all the problems of a chloro... chorophl... chloropet... map with areas colored in.

A choropleth is a graph with areas colored in - the typical way this information is displayed which distorts the redness of the US by geographic area rather than population.
