Electoral College Hexagon State Map

Hexagon Map as TopoJSON

This is a state hex map as topoJSON. The topoJSON uses GeoIDs (840 for the US, FIPS codes for state names). E.g. California is 84006. We added a REF or reference file for GeoIDs with full state names.

If you use it, it would be nice (but not necessary) if you can link back to Datamap
