This is a statistical map of the 2008 Presidential Elections in the United States.  These maps show statistical data displayed over a geographic area.  These stats are broken down by county, red standing for Republican and blue for Democrats.  This map is a perfect example of how the cartographer can  change the projection of data and make the map look different from the results.  By looking at the map, you might immediately think that McCain won the presidential election but as we all know, Obama in fact won.
