Interactive election results map California

Well being a full tilt map nerd, I found this to be an excellent tool to better understand the election results and the geographic reality of the state I live in (California, not Catatonia as rumored).  I remember digitizing maps using punchcards (yes chads were an issue) and doing a county map of California using vellum, india ink, and a drawing table the size of a Smart Car.  I even did a stint with the U.S. Census Bureau building the massive 'TIGER' files for use in the 1990 census, the first to use digital mapping technology.  Getting this map up the day of the election results is as futuristic to me as GPS in your cellphone.  Oh, they have that too?

Imagine when this technology gets adopted by the USFWS, or OIA for use in tracking wild fish populations or density of surfers on a break in real time.  Eureka... or Nightmare?

By the way I got this from Drew Simmons (Pale Morning Media), via Twitter post.  Thanks Drew!
