Historic electoral maps


For those who are not bored "up to here" with politics, Gerard Vlemmings at Presurfer today found a fascinating assemblage of maps showing the distribution of electoral votes in U.S. presidental elections dating back to 1789, when Washington beat Adams (back then the runner-up became Vice-President; imagine what would happen today if Obama won and McCain became his Vice President!).

Nothing here relevant to the current election, but for those with an interest in history, the maps are informative.
