    Chad also mapped Vancouver South, Newton-North Delta, and Esquimault-Juan de Fuca.

    Elsewhere, the Guardian maps the British referendum on alternative voting (also using Fusion Tables), which as you can see was pretty thoroughly crushed. The polygons are fully opaque – I’m not sure why. Zoom in to urban areas to see the small pockets of support. Can you pick out Oxford and Cambridge? It’s easier than it sounds.
