14. Cartogram


A cartogram is a diagram or abstract map where area is distorted proportionally to the value of a characteristic.  So, in this cartogram, the United States looks distorted because it is showing the 2004 election and the percentage of Democratic and Republican voters by county, blue and red, along with shades of purple which shows the stronger/weaker leaning towards one party or the other.
