Cartograms

Cartograms are maps that use distortion of areas to convey the information. The cartogram above shows a map of the 2008 Electoral Vote in the election that shows Obama (blue) overwhelming McCain (red). To me, this is an easy way to portray the dominance of one aspect compared to another.
