I’m not an American, but find presidential maps endlessly fascinating.

So today I’ve included maps to 11 of the most shocking results in American political history.

But before we get to the maps, my post about Scotland’s Watershed Is So Wild That Only 6 People Have Managed To Complete The Whole Route, went viral over the weekend so many thanks to those who shared it.
