is there a new "purple america" map out with county-by-county review yet?

[Essene]

ive seen state-level data but not a cool national map with all the counties.

1. Check out this map

2. that is great. is there one with just the final "purple" results?

i really like this stuff

http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/map.html

especially the bubbles.

but im looking for a "purple" variation.

3. not exactly what you are looking for...but a very revealing look at the votes:

5. that has a 2008 purple map but it looks identical to 2004

down the page a bit, there is this



which looks ALMOST precisely like this

6. see this huge 2004 one for comparison...

actually, there are differences... but almost entirely in terms of purple/blue value with no real change in boundaries.

7. here is another 2008 one

i prefer the other one. crisper county borders and the blue is sharper. this is the same person who put together the multiyear gif, but this time be made the blue lighter (he must be republican lol)

4. I'd like to see that one updated, too.

I also love the map that warps the size of the blue and red areas according to the number of votes rather than depicting the actual land area of the states. You get a much more accurate idea of how blue versus red since so much of the red areas are sparsely populated. Can't wait to see one of those for this election.
