Part three from our popular sequel "How to Lie with Maps" (part 1, part 2).

There are lots of posts with last election result maps in the Blogostan, but I like this one the best: Michael Gastner, Cosma Shalizi, and Mark Newman of University of Michigan, "Maps and cartograms of the 2004 US presidential election results". It has, I think, all other kinds of maps I have seen and some I haven't. I named this post "how to tell truth", because all these maps in a sense tell truth, these are just different truths.
