Pardon my saying so, but the second USA looks kinda creepy.
like a vulture... how fitting...
or a butterfly. you have failed your Rorschach test! 
it's interesting to see. I can't help but wonder what a viable three or four party system would do to the map.
oh hai! that little blue pool in the middle of the red in central Texas is us here in Austin! *waves*

I'm sooo getting stoned and staring at the second one.
"It's a sailboat". 
It's actually really interesting to see it broken down that way. The red/blue states map always looks so cold and harsh. This shows that there really is a diversity of opinions across the country.

I kid you not; that was my first thought as well. Either that, or the Imperial Eagle of the Habsburgs. Seriously.

Be glad you live in an enlighten era.
secret ballot reference
History
In Ancient Greece, secret ballots were used in several occasions, like ostracism and also to remain hidden from people seeking favors. In Ancient Rome, Laws regulating elections are collectively known as Tabellariae Leges, the first of which was introduced in 139 BC (gabinia lex)[1]. Today the practice of casting secret ballots is so commonplace that most voters would not consider that any other method might be used, yet in the 19th century it was highly controversial.
The first US president elected totally under a secret ballot system was Grover Cleveland (1892), and prior to 1884, secret ballots in the USA were not used at all.
Election violence was so common prior to that time that it was considered unremarkable. In researching the subject in the past I came across a newspaper report in Ohio in the 1870's IIRC of a quiet election where only one election related murder at a polling place happened.
I have not been able to find an online reference to it sorry the original was in a library.

I am glad to see a blue spot on OKlahoma in Cherokee county! (even though we only got 6,000 people to vote 
) We are also a notoriously red state...
