Remember, no one can draw gerrymanders like Fuzzy can!


1992 Presidential Election, Results by Congressional District




I also have to give a shout out to 1968.  The districts were rather simple, but it was my first big piece!

Does this mean that in Georgia's primary, Handel was analogous to Romney, Kingston to McCain, and Perdue to Huckabee?

2014 Pennsylvania Lt. Governor Democratic Primary:




Even moreso when you break it down by each candidate's strength:

Almost as good as the 2010 Republican one. 8/9 candidates carried at least one county.

Another good Lt. Gov one is Virginia Dem 2005, where the now notorious turncoat Phillip Puckett dominated the Appalachian areas of the state.

^ Just by looking at the map, its hard to believe Puckett didn't crack 20%.

Well, if we're going to talk about those 100-way Pennsylvania primaries, allow me to submit these for your consideration:

A new take on a classic - the 2010 Lt. Gubernatorial primary mapped by municipality and State House district. The district map does a nice job of clearing up some of the statistical noise and showing the broadest patterns - as well as some very interesting detail in Philadelphia.

Not true! Look closer. Every candidate won at least their home county - even Diamond and Kennedy.

Which one was it? When I find a slight error (typically a rogue pixel), I remove it, save the map and then edit the map in the Gallery to upload the new image. Of course, when you save a new image in the Gallery, it changes the extension name, which means all the previous links to it don't work. I haven't deleted any of my maps (I don't think I have, anyway, certainly not in a very long time), but the Canadian one is fairly new and I've been ironing out errors for the past couple of weeks (hopefully all fixed now), so the edits are likely to have changed the link.

I suspect you posted this one?

Yes, that one. Thanks, Smid.

I suppose I'm biased when it comes to the pleasing aesthetics of the map, since I developed the colour key. But credit must go to the cartographer too!
