This is a hypothetical question so feel free to skip it.
With the upcoming election I began wondering about displaying database
results in a map. Connecticut has some 170 towns which merge up into five
electorial districts, which merge into the fifty states of the union.
Building the database is not the issue, rather I wanted to know if there is a
way to generate a map of the country where democratic states are displayed in
blue and republican in red, based on the electoral and town results of each
state. I would also want a report for each state with the colored results
displayed for each town. And as a bonus, if the size of the states could be
drawn in the proportion of their electorial votes, that would be even better.
I have not used any version of Access beyond 2002, so I was wondering if the
newer versions might have something like this, or if there is an add-on, of
some other application that might make this possible. Thanks for your help.
