Political Donation Maps

The Sunlight Foundation has put together national maps showing political donations by county, with a variety of alternative maps.  I found the political donations per capita to be interesting.  It usually breaks down into a dollar or two per person, but, of course, that's not how donations are actually made -- it's a few people making larger donations.

The map is at:  http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2013/10/23/political-influence-by-county-a-new-way-to-look-at-campaign-finance-data/

Interesting stuff.  (h/t Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post's The Fix blog)
