Nominal Choropleth

A Nominal Choropleth Map is a choropleth map that does not use a scale of numbers as its differentiating criteria. Instead the data set is often words. In such maps, an assortment of colors can be used as the intensity of the color is not meant to indicate an intensity of data. In this example, each state is color coded based upon its political party leanings.
