The Electoral College

Trying a new visualization.

[This doesn't render correctly in Internet Explorer. Very hard to tell why. Use Firefox.]

These figures are from intrade. Purple is for anything from 45-55, on this rendering.

Because these are win/loss contracts, the numbers do not approximate the actual vote (as would a field poll), but the probability of win/loss. This accentuates the blue-red divide ...
