What do these maps tell you about the 2008 election?

The Democrats won the most electoral votes in the election.
The Republicans won the most electoral votes in the election.
The Republicans won the majority of southern U.S. states.
The Democrats won in the majority of U.S. counties.

Answer 1

Based on the information provided, the maps suggest that:

The land area of counties won by Republicans is greater than the land area of counties won by Democrats. This indicates that the Republicans won more rural areas while the Democrats won more urban areas.

Approximately half of the states show a Democrat winner, and the other half show a Republican winner. This suggests that the election was relatively close, with both parties winning roughly equal numbers of states.

The red areas on the map are focused on the center of the country, which suggests that the Republicans had strong support in the Midwest and South.

However, the maps do not provide information about the number of electoral votes won by each party, so it is not possible to determine which party won the most electoral votes in the election based on these maps alone
