I'd like to create my own USA states map where I want to be able to use my own data about certain economic data on the state and then color individual states accordingly (say blue or red if my variable is binary or various shades of blue if my variable is non binary). Can you please tell me where can I learn how to make my own map. Thanks Hi,

The victory in any election is supposed to go to the candidate who has the largest number of votes, pure and simple. In fact, as mathematicians analyze voting systems, they are turning up other oddities that can yield a "winner" who does not reflect the will of even a plurality, much less a majority.
