Even an overwhelming vote margin can be interesting to map, but I’m a bit disappointed with the maps of the Irish referendum held<\/a> last Friday on whether to repeal Ireland’s constitutional ban on abortion. The official Referendum Ireland<\/a> website, the\u00a0Irish Times<\/em><\/a> and RT\u00c9 News<\/a> all use two-colour constituency map (one colour for yes, another for no); the Irish Times<\/em>\u00a0goes a little further and shows choropleth maps for the yes and no sides, but quartiles don’t reveal very much either. The Guardian<\/em><\/a> and even Wikipedia<\/a> show more granularity. [Maps Mania<\/a>]<\/p>\n
