Maine tiny on political map

Every four years, the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia redraws state lines to reflect the political influence of each state. Center Director Larry J. Sabato, in a year-end political retrospective, writes about the map and what they are trying to show. Here's what he had to say: "On the political map, each state takes up only the volume merited by its Electoral College weight. After all, trees, rocks, and acres do not vote; only people do. Giant geographic Alaska and Montana shrink to pea size while states such as California, Texas, and Florida swell considerably on this political map." Check out the map and his analysis here
