Cartogram- Usually incorporates a thematic mapping variable, while the geometry or area of the map is distorted in order to spatially convey this or another variable as well. In this cartogram of the 2004 election for President, each state is assigned a color based on who the majority of the state's registered voters voted for, either Gore or Bush. In addition, each state is also spatially distorted in order to convey relative population size (http://panse.org/CartoDraw/).
