Mapping the Election
More Maps.
Via Pen Elayne, who has quite a few maps, I found these two images worth comparing. The first is colored by how each district voted. The second is a picture from space of light pollution, or urban areas. Notice a pattern?
Illuminated thinking...
Via Kevin Drum there is this gem of map of an antebellum United States of slave holding states and where slavery was allowed. It kinda' looks like the Bush States vs. Kerry States.
Not much has changed in a 140 years!
So what does it all mean? Well, I see a pattern of un-enlightenment and a selective definition of human rights.
