One of the things I found interesting in the recent (US) election was the maps showing which counties in the various states voted Bush or Kerry. Does anyone have a link to a nice big graphic with results (hopefully final)?

That site appears to only show the results by state. [Here](http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/) are both state and county maps, and some really cool distortions by population density. It was linked in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=286658).
