In proportional circle maps, the data is represented by the size of the circles. In this map you can also see the use of colors to represent data, this is because this map was used to show the results of the 2012 presidential election. The blue color is used to represent Democratic support and the Red is used to show Republican support, and the size of these circles vary with the number of people that represented their party in that area. As you can see with Florida being a swing state the results are very mixed but because of a large hispanic population in South Florida that wants leniency with immigration laws, there is more support for the democrats and therefor swaying Florida to the Democratic side which is represented by a larger blue circle.
