Map of US Elections



The source to this map is as follows: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/national-affairs/karl-roves-election-map-south-carolinas-a-swing-state-20120427 

This map shows the entire United States of America each state representing a different color. This map is showing how popular each presidential candidate is in each state. The legend shows what each color represents. Each color is different describing how likely the candidate will win over that state. The map also shows another box which describes how many electoral college votes each candidate might have.

This map is interesting to me because I am very interested in politics and for the well being of our country. This election seems very close because both candidates are raising a lot of money and are spending a lot on advertising. I think most people today do not care about the policies of the future president; they just vote for whomever they think is the most popular.
