A cartogram is a map which reflects quantitative densities. Cartograms do not demonstrate size to scale, but rather size in reference to quantitative density depending on what the variable number is. In this illustration the variable is electoral votes. As you can see the state of New Jersey is much bigger than the state of North Dakota. This statement geographically is false, however with the use of a cartogram the population density of each state creates the size of the featured area.
