Cartogram

Description:  Cartograms are maps that show a geographic location that has been altered to reflect the variable being shown.  Two ways in which they can be used is to show populations and gross national product.  This map shows the number of electoral votes per state received by the two candidates in the 2012 presidential election and does so by making the states look distorted depending on its amount of votes.
