Final Electoral Map(s)

Florida finally finished counting their votes, and that state also goes to President Obama. The Republicans can call it a close election if they want to (a "squeaker"), but it looks like a good old-fashioned thumping to me!

But while that map shows the winner in each state, the map below is interesting because it shows the percentages in each state. All states are some shade of purple (because neither candidate got 100% of the vote in any state).

    This excellent analysis at RealClearPolitics scotches the notion that the Latino/black vote won it. Their vote increased but not by as much as the increase in their voter population. Romney's problem was 'stay-at-home' whitey! Around 7 million less of them than might have been expected failed to vote at all.

    Well worth reading.
