There are quite a few maps to a greater extent than or less today showing the results of the Scottish Referendum. Most of the maps, such every bit these maps past times City A.M. in addition to CTV News, decided to demonstrate the results past times merely shading electoral regions using 2 unlike colors, to dot areas where voters voted 'Yes' in addition to where voters voted 'No'.
This approach plant good inwards showing the overall vote inwards each electoral region. However because at that spot is a broad variation inwards the release of voters inwards each portion this approach fails to demonstrate the size of the voting population inwards each region. In fact this approach could genuinely hold out quite misleading.
For event inwards the map pictured above, the 'Yes' vote inwards Glasgow looks fairly small-scale compared to the 'No' vote inwards the Scottish Border merely because the Scottish Borders is a far bigger geographical area. In fact all the same Glasgow has 486,219 registered voters, compared to the 95,533 voters inwards the Scottish Borders.
As it turns out the huge numbers of regions voting 'No' compared to the real few regions voting 'Yes' agency that this approach doesn't genuinely distort the overall picture. If the vote had been closer all the same this approach could bring been quite misleading.
The exclusively map which I bring seen which attempts to describe of piece of occupation organisation human relationship for the release of voters inwards each portion was Oliver O'Brien's Scottish Referendum Data Map. The Scottish Referendum Data Map uses unlike sized round off markers to correspond the registered voting population inwards each electoral region.
The Scottish Referendum Data Map too attempts to demonstrate the pct differences inwards the vote shape inwards each electoral portion past times using a color scale ranging from vivid carmine for a high pct of no votes to vivid bluish for a high pct of bluish votes.
