Mapping Designing/Designing Maps

There are many maps of the electoral college: here is one-->http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/electoral-map
Is is helpful? What does it show? What does it obscure? Could we revise it?

The one below is from a different election and relies on a different
unit of analysis. Is it helpful? What does it show? What does it obscure? Could we revise it

And not least (and looking forward): I chose to use a url and an inserted image: this forced you
to click to the url. What if any difference does that make?
