Cartograms like this one distort the image of a map to make areas proportional to some factor other than land so that the picture shows a distorted view to make a point. This cartogram shows electoral votes by state. The states which have the most electoral votes such as California, Florida and Texas have the most blocks, and therefore the most votes. This is a useful way to pictorially represent concepts like electoral votes because although it does not show how many votes a state has, it shows which are the most and least significant in the election.
