Homely's new maps thread

The swing map also doubles as a map of the Northern NJ income distribution!

Nothing's showing up for me.

Interesting map! Looks like Northern NJ saw a further polarization, with dem areas getting even more dem and reciprocally. The picture is a big more blurred in southern NJ though.

Awesome, but im disappointed with the lack of RI

Would you believe that I finished the swing map last night? I'm so far ahead of you guys.
Oh, and it's got New England attached too.

!!! Amazing map

I'm surprised Lawn Guyland didn't swing to Romney as much as I thought it would.

That is a very beautiful map. For a number of reasons.

"It's delightful, it's delicious, it's de-lovely!" Allegheny County alone took four hours.

Awesome!

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Absolutely extraordinary.  I wish we had some sort of "Best of the Atlas" awards for this

[Linus Van Pelt]

Excellent work.

Interesting that even in 2012, there's still that cluster of Obama municipalities in the Mon Valley, as well as those strips of old anthracite areas in Schuylkill.

Perhaps someone from PA can tell me a little about Coolbaugh Township. Why is it so much more Democratic than the rest of Monroe County?

[homelycooking]

Epic gerrymander. Boom.

What an awesome map! Like all of your work, I just love it!

Amazing map. What astounds me is how Pennsylvania and New Hampshire could have nearly identical statewide results even though the maps look totally different. PA looks like a Romney landslide with a sea of dark blue and small islands of red, while NH is at least 2/3 red indicating a strong Obama victory.

I guess Pennsylvania gave us your standard results, with Democratic strength concentrated in small but very populous urban areas and Republicans winning in large yet sparsely populated rural areas. But in NH Dems seem to win the most rural areas while Republicans are winning the suburban areas near Massachusetts, so it's like the opposite of PA.

Could I request a GA map? I know it's not your region of expertise but I've been dying to see one.

[Antonio the Sixth]

This is absolutely wonderful.

[badgate]

Epic gerrymander. Boom.

I'm literally offended by the sight of this.

[Fuzzybigfoot]

Fantastic work!

I don't think I could make a map of municipal-level results for Georgia - precinct boundaries in that state definitely do not correspond to those of (very, very irregularly shaped) municipalities. Apologies.

[homelycooking]

Two of the craziest maps I've ever made.

[bgwah]

The middle part of the state is so pretty!

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

it would be cool to move to one of those unpopulated places in Maine so that my vote for a 3rd party or write-in candidate would show up on homely's map!

Those PA maps are fascinating. Knowing nothing about the candidates, I can guess the Democratic primary resonated with cultural difference, though the urban candidate has some appeal for the Philly suburbanites as well.  For the Republicans on the other hand, it is as strongly locally-driven a statewide election as I have seen. That's a really beautiful one! I love how the Metcalfe area looks almost fractal.
