I love looking at maps. Just recently, for example, I was wasting time looking at Google maps of the Las Vegas valley. I moved to Las Vegas in August, and I was curious about how many actual cities are in the valley. I discovered that there are four cities here: Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, and Boulder City. So then I was examining their actual boundaries, and discovered that “the Strip” is not even in the city of Las Vegas! It is in the county. So there’s a piece of trivia for you.<\/p>\n

Here is a map I just came across this morning that I thought you all would appreciate. It shows all of the counties that changed party in the 2016 election. (Source<\/a>)<\/p>\n

If the county is red, that means it switched from blue in 2012 to red in 2016. If it is blue, that means it switched from red in 2012 to blue in 2016.<\/p>\n

There was a lot more switching from blue to red, it seems to me.<\/p>\n
