This applications uses data from the CNN Electoral Map Calculator website, the US Census Bureau, and data obtained from Karl Grossner - UCSB graduate student at UCSB.
The ap give the user the ability to see the US states scaled in size based on electoral maps. This cartographic technique is known as a cartogram. Additionally, states can be clicked to display state name, total population, number of speeches per candidate and dollar amount of ad campaign spending per state.

    Ted,
    Thank you so much for featuring our map on your blog. We recently updated it to reflect the election results. Missouri hasn't called it yet, but I gave the state to McCain given the current numbers. We also switched from speeches to appearances with the help of Karl Grossner's database. Here's a link to the map: http://www.geog.ucsb.edu/~indy/gis/eVote.html
