Two Maps -- One Election Map and One Energy Consumption Map

Both of these maps are very interesting. The top map shows Energy Consumption across the United States before the turn of the century using circles, which makes the map easier to read. It seems weird looking at the map that LA and WY are the biggest energy consumers. The second map is an intriguing map I found online regarding the 1996 presidential elections. Its a weird map that shows proportionality and chloroplethic tendencies on how the state voted for either the Democrat or Republican presidential candidate.
