Everyone’s seen the red/blue map of the country, divided by county. What I’m interested in, though, is a map similar to that, only divided by congressional districts.

I’ve searched and the closest I’ve found so far is a state-by-state look at C-SPAN election results.

But I don’t want to go through each state and compile all the data myself… which wouldn’t only be time consuming… but actually pretty difficult to sort through considering how the maps are set up.

I’d really like a list with each state, how many congressional districts there are in the state, and how many went to Bush and how many went to Kerry. I’d love it if someone knows of such a map/table/whatever form of date presentation.

The reason I’m interested in this, is to see how the electoral votes would turn out if our system worked like this:

The electoral votes in each state are determined by the number of seats in the house of representatives (the number of congressional districts) plus two for the Senate seats. I think it would be a better system if electoral votes were given to the winnder of each congressional district. And then, the winner of the popular vote in the state would get the two senate electoral votes (or they could simply be decided by the governor of the state…).

I think that would be a much more accurate representation of the spread of all the people in a state, and thus all the people in the country.

Just some links I don’t want to lose…
