New style of election map January 28, 2009
Posted by Jason in 2006 Elections, Politics.trackback
Lately I’ve been working with a new style of election map that uses seven discrete colors instead of a continuous range. I adopted it from Peter Bratt over at West Michigan Rising (see an example here, my maps use the same range). Below is a side-by-side comparison of the new style using the results from the 2nd Congressional District in 2006. Any thoughts on which image is easier to interpret?

Jason Felton is a homo sapien in his mid-20s observed to be living in west Michigan. Observations suggest that he spends way too much time on the internet reading blogs, researching family trees, and keeping track of current events in science and politics. Other interests of his include atheism, electronics, religion, and history, among many other things.
