However, it may be possible to fork Stately and design my own glyphs based on the Counties of New York or Puerto Rico.

It might be nice to try to peg this to actual state data, or real-time state-data. I am intrigued by the specific color-patterns that emerge when states flicker.

reds = Array();
for(var k = 0; k < 9; k++ ) {
reds[k] ='rgba(255,0,0,0.' + (k+1) + ')';
console.log(reds[k]);
}
states = Array();
for(var k = 0; k < 51; k++ ) { states[k]=0; }
$(document).ready(function(){

function(){
n = Math.floor(51*Math.random());
if(states[n] == 0){ states[n]=1; }
else if(states[n] == 8){ states[n]=7; }
else { states[n] += 2*Math.floor(2*Math.random())-1; }
$("ul").children().eq(n ).css('color', reds[states[n]] );
