This election map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “2010ElectoralCartogramGott.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
Summary
Description2010ElectoralCartogramGott.png
English: Gott and Colley's Electoral Cartogram showing the electoral votes apportioned to each state as a result of the 2010 Census. Note that the cartogram is topologically correct in that any state that borders another state in reality borders that state on the cartogram, and wherever multiple states meet at a point in reality, they also do so on the cartogram. The color map uses a 4-color system, which because of the topological correctness, could be applied to a standard geographic map as well. A previous version of this cartogram (reflecting the 2000 apportionment) was published in Mathematical and Computer Modeling. This image, and a monochrome version will be maintained at http://www.colleyrankings.com/cartogram2010, where one may also expect to find polling and election information in 2012.
