On December 13, 2009, we all wake up to find that Dave has switched the colors on Atlas. The 2008 map looks like this:



Nightmare. I hate conventional American colors that seems totally ridiculous : in all the civilized countries, LEFT IS RED and RIGHT IS BLUE. Why should it be different in the USA ? ? ?

Oh yes, "Blue state" Massachusetts and "Red state" Idaho... isn't it fun?

Blue are states that Obama never carried (either in primary or general)

It doesn't really matter.

The US never had an "official" color scheme for the longest time. It just so happened that most of the TV networks used red for Republican and blue for Democrat in 2000. With the controversy, many commentators began referring to states as "red states" and "blue states". So the colors stayed that way out of habit from then on.

But again, colors are colors. I could us neon pink for Republicans and purple polka-dots for Democrats.

No one made any guess, so I will reveal the meaning of the first map: Margin of victory in the 2000 presidential election; light green is <5%, medium green is 5-10% and dark green is >10%.

As to the second map, here is a hint: it has to do with a game.

I wished to keep the suspense longer, but, no, it's not political.

I've already done maps with alphabetical order, capital/biggest city, Indian names, etc
In fact, I try to find maps that might seem political but which aren't.

Very easy one :



Political, but nothing to do with parties.

That would be the current death penalty status by state.  Darker shades of red indicate more executions since 1976.
