Interesting, albeit partial, correlation between helmet use laws and so-called "red" and "blue" states. I wonder how close the votes were on both issues in the states which don't align? Sources: Map of motorcycles helmet laws by state, IIHS Parsing the Red and Blue Map , Mental Floss blog

As part of a story I'm working on, I put the Staver factory in Chicago on a Google map. Since then, I've added another few dozen factory locations, and am launching it as an open map project, since I couldn't find anyone else who had done such a thing. Collaborators are welcome.
