I don't know where to ask this question but how do you make maps like this?
http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/electoral-map
is it manually drawn and if so how do you figure out the proportions of the boxes for individual states?????
I need help understanding how this works.
thanks.

I think you'd have to first create the boxes sized based on the number of electoral votes (a bit of a manual process), then position them in the appropriate places. It would be difficult to automatically make a map like this.
Thanks,
