There's a great new feature on VPAP.org, the Virginia Public Access Project.  As Waldo says, this is "a fantastically valuable new feature" and he's going to "get a lot of mileage out of" it.  Me too, this mapping software rocks! 

By the way, if you want to help VPAP continue doing its great work, you can donate here and "Support Transparent Elections," as they say.

I forecast we'll all be using this soon in our own blog entries, so we can look like brilliant cartographers.  (Look out, Kenton. :)  I've tried to put together such maps before, but I don't have the proper software, and I've ended up having to use Photoshop to hand-color county boundaries.  It's ridiculous.  VPAP's made it a whole lot easier for all of us to display contribution information.

It's functional but I don't know about drill down.  But it's open source and works well enough for basic maps. Maybe it's not the snazziest but certainly you won't have to go through that edge coloring thing.
