Governor

Because the election is decided by the total number of votes cast, more-populated counties hold more sway than less-populated ones. This map shows which candidate won each county but also how much more significant some of those results are by adjusting each county's size by its number of residents.

Switching to the "Standard" view returns counties to their normal sizes and boundaries.
