The Election...(ugh)

The effects of Tuesday's election in the US will be felt for a long time.
Here's a fellow who's broken down the Election results by county and applied them to a map of the US - using red and blue for their respective party's votes and shades in between to denote how the spread went in each county. The effect is stunning - the political divide in the US doesn't look so bleak - most of the country comes out looking purple. See for yourself.
