NYT Interactive Maps showing how people voted. Best I've seen.

There are 3 excellent maps at this link...

Especially good is the "Popular Vote by Population" interactive map. It removes the mostly uninhabited areas and effectively gets rid of the "just look at all the red states!" mantra that the Reps try to trumpet.

After clicking the link below, look at the top of the page in the center for the words : "Interactive Feature, graphics of how people voted" and click on them.

(NYT requires free registration, but well worth it for these graphics alone.)

5. The graphics are good but

I resent the title "Election 2004" the Final Tally. Just another way to make this election close up without finishing the count, and that includes reconciling all the evidence of fraud or error.

The media is in a big hurry to "move on". You bet.

6. Yep, no reporting on the protest at Ohio State House steps.....

no reporting on mounting evidence of serious vote fraud in multiple states since the election...... no reports of voter intimidation, suppression at the polls although it is widespread.......

I hope some bright new young journalists with integrity and a hunger for the truth will emerge and give their profession credibility again.

Our media are an abomination, with very few exceptions.

7. Red State / Blue State

Looking at the NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/politics/2004_ELECTIONRESULTS_GRAPHIC Election Results map got me thinking about the whole Red vs. Blue thing.

Notice that there are no likely terrorism targets in any of the Red states? Sure lots of things to fly a plane into, but where's the symbolism? There's no WTC, Pentagon, Statue of Liberty, etc... So, of course the red state residents were willing to re-elect Bush, where's the risk for them? What's the liklihood that they'll be the target of the backlash from his disasterous foreign policy? Terrorists will surely pick on NYC, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles or San Francisco before they target a city like Dayton or Des Moines.

8. Excellent point!

And on the other side of the coin, who did NY vote for? Exactly. If anyone has the right to vote on terrorism, it's NY.

Also, all the counties on Florida map that gave Bush a big boost use op-scan systems.
