Understanding Maine Politics

Continuing the cartography theme, here's a map showing the vote margin by town in the 2000 presidential election that was originally published in the BDN. Unlike most other maps now, on this one red represents Democratic votes and blue Republican. The darker the shade, the wider the margin.

On this map it's easy to pick out the democratic strongholds in urban areas and in the St. John Valley.
