Cartograms are maps in which a thematic mapping variable is substituted for land area. The space of the map is distorted to convey the information of this alternate variable.
This is a Cartogram showing the results of the Electoral College in the 2004 Presidential election. Dark blue represented strong democratic states while dark red were strong republican. Outlines meant the state was barely one way and white were exactly tied. This cartogram is not a true map.
