This cartogram shows the distribution of votes for the two main candidates in the 2020 US Presidential election. Shown in diverging colours is each respective candidate who received the largest share of votes in each county. The cartogram itself shows an equal-population projection (gridded population cartogram) where each grid cell in the map is resized according to the total number of people living there. The main cartogram is accompanied by a ‘conventional’ reference map that also shows the states of Alaska and Hawaii (using state-level results for these two states):

The map shown here displays the projected county level results as of November, 16th, with final results not having been declared yet everywhere. The majority of results shown here reflect at least 95 per cent of the votes counted, though possible legal challenges might still result in some adjustments to this overall map.
